Semen Culture Test

Essential for Male Infertility Evaluation

Essential for Male Infertility Evaluation

This test checks for infections in semen that might not show clear symptoms but can significantly affect sperm health and function. Such infections can reduce sperm movement, lower their viability and cause infertility by causing swelling and blockages in the reproductive tracts.

Furthermore, microorganisms and bacteria present in semen can contribute to oxidative stress, a condition where there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. This oxidative stress can damage sperm DNA, leading to DNA fragmentation. High levels of DNA fragmentation in sperm are associated with reduced fertility, as it can impact the sperm’s ability to fertilize an egg and develop into a healthy embryo. By identifying and treating these infections, the semen culture test plays a crucial role in improving male reproductive health and enhancing the chances of successful conception.
