Particular attention is paid to possibly existing chronic diseases. In a conversation, the doctor asks about the duration of the non-pregnancy, the possible abortion of the partner.

Informational conversations alone cannot make a diagnosis. The specialist prescribes the delivery of tests, among which there is a spermogram. This is a mandatory procedure that is repeated several times, every 14 days. Testing allows you to find the exact number of eligible sperm that are ready for fertilization. If the result is more than 50%, the specialist diagnoses immunological infertility. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay determines the titer of antisperm antibodies. The andrologist determines the complexity of the secondary type of sexual characteristics.

The patient's genitals, testicles, glands (mammary) are examined. Cytological examination - collection of reliable information of the urethra, seminal vesicles. The prostatic juice is examined for possible bacterial growth. In some cases, it is possible to donate blood for biochemistry. An obligatory moment is to determine the level of the male hormone (testosterone), blood group.

2. The second stage includes a study of plasma for hormones of follicle stimulation, luteinization, testosterone, a substance that binds globulin. Ultrasound examines the scrotum, recognizes changes in the structure of the testicles, prostate, appendages. The TRUS technique recognizes pathologies of the seminal vesicles.

Men are tested for the compatibility of the polymerase reaction (chain) with the enzyme immunoassay.Every man should be tested for a genetic predisposition, conduct studies of a semen centrifuge in order to eliminate the risk of a sick child.
