According to the WHO, investigations should be carried out if no natural pregnancy occurs after one year of regular sexual intercourse without contraception. These include a spermiogram.

We use a spermiogram to assess male fertility.

In doing so, we evaluate the  quality  of your sperm according to  various criteria. These include the  number  of sperm in the ejaculate, the  shape,  motility,  liquefaction time,  volume  of the ejaculate, viscosity  (whether the semen sample is viscous),  pH, color  and  vitality  (how many live sperm are contained in the ejaculate). 

First, we will inform you in detail and make an appointment with you.

You should be sexually abstinent for at least three days before this date.

You should not have a cold, inflammation or fever on the day of the spermiogram, as this may affect the result. In our clinic, we have a discreet room where you will use masturbation to obtain the semen sample that we will examine. We will discuss the results and subsequent treatment recommendations with you and your partner in a follow-up appointment.

If the result of your spermiogram is not due to a previous disease or has known genetic reasons, you should consider lifestyle changes. 

Smoking, drinking large amounts of alcohol, being  overweight and  excessive stress  have a  negative  effect on sperm quality. 

Healthy diet, regular exercise and emotional well-being help to improve sperm quality.

A complete sperm production takes 96 days. In principle, a spermiogram can be done  about 12 weeks after cancer treatment.

However, the regeneration of fertility depends on various factors, such as the level of the treatment dose and the age of the patient. Often, the spermiogram is already of reduced quality before cancer treatment. Seek the advice of your treating physician before scheduling a spermiogram. Especially in the case of a testicular tumor, full recovery can take up to three years, and in certain cases up to nine years.
