Semen Microbiota Analysis
The seminal microbiota refers to the community of microorganisms naturally present in semen. Emerging scientific evidence suggests that the balance of this microbial ecosystem may influence sperm function, inflammation within the male reproductive tract, and overall male fertility. Semen microbiota analysis is performed using advanced molecular techniques, such as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), which enable the […]
Genetic Testing
Karyotype Analysis, Y-Chromosome Microdeletions (Y-Microdeletions), FISH, CFTR Mutation Analysis and other specialised genetic investigations. Genetic testing is performed to identify chromosomal abnormalities and genetic mutations that may underlie severe male infertility, including azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia. A comprehensive genetic evaluation may include karyotype analysis, Y-chromosome microdeletion testing, CFTR gene mutation analysis, and Fluorescence In Situ […]
Biochemical Testing
Fructose, Zinc, Carnitine, Glucose, PSA and other seminal biochemical markers. Biochemical testing evaluates key components of the seminal fluid that reflect the function of the accessory male reproductive glands, including the seminal vesicles, prostate and epididymis. These biomarkers help assess the quality of the environment that supports sperm survival, function and fertilising potential. The assessment […]
Immunological Testing
MAR Test (Mixed Antiglobulin Reaction), Anti-Sperm Antibody Testing and other specialised immunological investigations. Immunological testing evaluates the presence of anti-sperm antibodies (ASA), which can cause sperm agglutination (clumping), reducing sperm motility and function and, consequently, impairing male fertility. One of the most widely used diagnostic methods is the MAR Test (Mixed Antiglobulin Reaction). It is […]
Microbiological Testing
Semen culture, PCR testing for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, CMV, HPV, HSV and other pathogens. Recent scientific evidence has shown that the composition and balance of the microorganisms naturally present in semen—known as the seminal microbiome—play an important role in sperm function and male fertility. Microbiological testing of semen is performed either […]
Hormonal Assessment
FSH, LH, Testosterone, Prolactin, TSH, FT3, FT4, and more Hormonal assessment is recommended for men with abnormal semen analysis results, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, symptoms suggestive of low testosterone, or when an underlying hormonal imbalance is suspected to affect fertility. In many cases, hormonal evaluation is an essential diagnostic tool, as hormones play a crucial […]
