When a disease occurs, it needs to be diagnosed as early as possible, because if you are not careful, it can easily cause some troubles, especially many men will suffer from infertility. When people face such a disease, they must first do The most important thing is to do a good check-up. So, how to check for male infertility? Then let’s follow the experts to find out.

If you want to diagnose male infertility, you need to do 2 tests

The first item is analysis of chromosomal factors

When the number of sperm is too low, the motility is too low, there are a large number of sperm deformities, or there are no sperm at all, it should be considered that there are chromosomal problems. Male secondary sex characteristics are underdeveloped or sexual function is low with feminization, the average volume of both testicles is less than 10 ml, follicle stimulating hormone is higher than normal, or although the testicles are developed, the secondary sex characteristics are normal but there are very few sperm or If there is no sperm at all, the autosomal chromosomes should be further examined. A common chromosomal abnormality is type 47, XXY. Once confirmed by examination, there is no need for treatment because treatment is unlikely to be effective.

Item 2: Check gonadotropin

Measurement of gonadotropins is of great value in determining the functional status of the male hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. By observing the level of follicle stimulating hormone, you can understand the degree of testicular development or damage. Under normal circumstances, the spermatogenesis of men's seminiferous tubules is mainly promoted by the secretion of follicle-generating hormone from the pituitary gland. Of course, this must be achieved when the androgen testosterone is normal, because if there is insufficient testosterone in the blood, problems will occur in the semen even if the follicle-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland is normal. As far as simple testicular agenesis is concerned, the worse the testicular development is, the more obvious the spermatogenesis disorder will be, and the higher the follicle-stimulating hormone value in the serum will be. In addition, the detection of luteinizing hormone and prolactin also has very important clinical value. When testicular spermatogenic function is impaired, the luteinizing hormone response is significantly lower than that of follicle-stimulating hormone. When there are chromosomal abnormalities and testicular atrophy, luteinizing hormone will also be significantly higher than that of those with normal chromosomes. This suggests that for male infertile men with high levels of luteinizing hormone, whether the chromosomes are normal should be considered. Elevated prolactin can also lead to male infertility, with common testicular atrophy, reduced sperm count, and reduced sperm motility.
