After a year of having unprotected sex without getting pregnant, the couple may have infertility problems and, therefore, both man and woman should have the necessary fertility tests.

Seminogram: It is the main diagnostic test to evaluate male fertility.

Its objective is to evaluate the quality of the semen and it is carried out by studying the sperm parameters. First, the macroscopic parameters of the sample are analyzed (appearance, viscosity, pH, volume, liquefaction time …) and then the microscopic ones (total number of sperm in the sample and sperm concentration per milliliter, as well as mobility and sperm morphology).

In addition, there are more complementary tests such as REM, antigen test, viability test, etc.

Karyotype: Although it would not be within the basic tests, it is advisable to perform it, since it allows to evaluate the chromosomal formula of the patient and thus be able to rule out possible chromosomal alterations that may be at the origin of sterility or infertility.

It is carried out by a blood test, in which it is not necessary to be fasting. (The results can take from 15 to 20 days to get ready).
