What Tests Do Male Fertility Specialists Use? From Semen Analysis to Hormone Testing

Common causes of male infertility

Male infertility can be caused by a range of factors, including low sperm count, poor sperm motility or abnormal morphology. Hormonal imbalances, varicoceles, genetic conditions and previous medical treatments can also affect fertility.
