Common questions
When should a man see an andrologist?
If you have been trying for a year without success (six months if your partner is over 35), or sooner if you have had problems with erections, ejaculation, testicular injury, surgery or mumps after puberty.
What are common causes of male infertility?
Low sperm count, poor sperm movement, abnormally shaped sperm, hormonal imbalances, varicocele, blockages in the tubes that carry sperm, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, heat exposure and weight.
How should I prepare for a semen test?
Avoid ejaculation for two to five days before the test. The sample is collected in a private room at the hospital.
