Fertility testing in women play a crucial role in determining the best approach for successful IUI or IVF. At your first visit to Netcare IVF | Fertility Centre, you’ll have a scheduled fertility consultation with Professor Biodun Olagbuji, MD, PhD (UCT). His goal is to use cutting-edge fertility tests to gain a better understanding of your fertility delay and hormonal baseline and to determine the most appropriate personalized fertility treatment approach to achieve your dream to become parents and to raise children.
Fertility tests provide essential insights into a woman’s fertility status, guiding IVF protocols and optimizing the chances of a successful pregnancy. By evaluating hormonal levels, structural integrity, and genetic factors, fertility specialists can create tailored treatment plans that also address specific reproductive challenges.
Fertility tests for women often include:
Before beginning any fertility treatment, our skilled IVF andrologist, Dr. Emmanuel, will conduct a thorough semen analysis at Netcare IVF | Fertility. This evaluation assesses the male partner’s ability to conceive, as male factor infertility is responsible for approximately 40% of couples who struggle to achieve pregnancy. By analyzing sperm quality, we can identify sub-fertile males and tailor treatments to enhance male fertility. If you and your partner are facing challenges in conceiving and want to explore the underlying causes, contact us today to discuss with our fertility experts to learn more about semen analysis and effective treatments for male infertility. To schedule a semen analysis, please call our office at +234-703-028-4487.
Male infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Semen analysis serves as a crucial initial step in identifying reproductive abnormalities, providing essential insights into sperm quality, quantity, and overall male fertility health.
Analyzing semen volume and potency involves assessing the quantity and quality of sperm within the ejaculate. Semen volume typically ranges from 2 to 5 milliliters, with a higher volume often indicating better reproductive health. Potency, on the other hand, refers to sperm count, motility and morphology, which are crucial for successful fertilization. Fructose testing in semen analysis may be performed to evaluate seminal vesicle function because it can indicate potential male infertility issues related to sperm production and transport.
Abstinence from sexual intercourse can be beneficial for improving sperm quality, as it allows the body time to replenish sperm reserves and enhance motility. A short period of abstinence, around 2-5 days, is often recommended to optimize sperm parameters. However, excessive abstinence may lead to decreased sperm motility. Finding a balance is essential for maximizing reproductive potential.
At Netcare IVF | Fertility, we recognize that personalized treatment is crucial for individuals dealing with infertility. Male infertility can present unique challenges, but there are a variety of treatment options tailored to address the specific underlying causes. If male fertility cannot be improved through lifestyle and nutritional changes or hormonal balance, medical interventions such as surgery and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) may be considered.
Both diagnostic methods and treatment techniques have come a long way in recent years, making it much easier to navigate any fertility barriers.
