Infertility Testing & Evaluation
Infertility Testing & Evaluation
At Sakkthi Clinical Laboratory and Andrology Centre, we provide specialized laboratory tests that support the evaluation of fertility health. These investigations involve the analysis of semen, blood, and other laboratory samples to help clinicians assess factors that may influence reproductive health in both men and women.
Laboratory testing plays an important role in identifying possible factors associated with infertility and supports appropriate clinical evaluation and treatment planning.
What Is Infertility?
Infertility is commonly defined as the inability of a couple to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. Fertility can be influenced by multiple factors related to both male and female reproductive health.
In many cases, laboratory investigations help identify underlying factors that may affect reproductive function.
When Should Fertility Testing Be Considered?
Fertility evaluation may be recommended when:
A couple has been trying to conceive for one year or longer
There is a history of reproductive or hormonal health issues
Previous fertility treatments have not been successful
There are known medical or lifestyle factors that may affect reproductive health
Early evaluation can help clinicians better understand possible contributing factors.
How Laboratory Tests Help in Fertility Evaluation
Laboratory investigations provide important insights into reproductive health by assessing:
Sperm concentration and motility
Sperm morphology and vitality
Sperm DNA integrity
Hormonal balance affecting reproduction
Possible infections affecting the reproductive system
These findings help clinicians understand factors that may influence fertility and guide further evaluation or treatment.
Fertility Tests Available at Sakkthi Clinical Laboratory
Semen Analysis: A routine semen analysis evaluates key parameters such as sperm concentration, motility, morphology, and vitality, which are important indicators of male reproductive health.
Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA): Computer-assisted systems are used to analyze sperm concentration and movement patterns with improved accuracy and consistency.
Sperm Morphology Assessment: Examines the shape and structural characteristics of sperm cells, which may influence fertilization potential.
Sperm Vitality Test: Determines the percentage of live sperm cells present in a semen sample.
Peroxidase Test (Leukocyte Detection): Detects the presence of white blood cells in semen, which may indicate infection or inflammation in the male reproductive tract.
Semen Culture: Laboratory culture techniques help identify bacterial infections in semen that may affect reproductive health.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test: Evaluates the integrity of genetic material within sperm cells, which may play a role in fertility outcomes and assisted reproductive procedures.
Sample Required
Fertility-related laboratory tests may require:
Semen samples for sperm evaluation
Blood samples for hormonal or infection screening when advised
The type of sample depends on the tests recommended by the healthcare provider.
