In couples having issues with fertility, male factors problems can be the cause in 50% of cases.

In our clinics you will see leading male fertility specialists who are involved in writing national guidelines and teach and train other specialists across the world.
Our Male Fertility Services
We offer comprehensive services designed to evaluate and treat male reproductive concerns effectively.
Semen Analysis
A detailed laboratory assessment measuring sperm count, motility, morphology, and overall semen quality to determine reproductive potential.
Hormone Evaluation
Blood testing to assess testosterone and other key reproductive hormones that regulate sperm production and sexual function.
Scrotal & Testicular Ultrasound
Imaging studies to detect structural issues such as varicocele, obstruction, or abnormalities affecting sperm production.
Genetic Testing
Where appropriate, we conduct genetic screening to identify inherited conditions that may contribute to infertility.
Varicocele Assessment
Evaluation for enlarged veins within the scrotum that may impair sperm production and quality.
Male Fertility Assessments
Our fertility assessment process is thorough, structured, and confidential:
Initial Consultation: Detailed discussion about medical history, lifestyle factors, previous fertility attempts, and symptoms.
Physical Examination: Examination of the testes and reproductive organs, where required.
Laboratory Testing: Semen analysis and hormone profile testing.
Diagnostic Imaging: Ultrasound scans are performed by leading expert radiologists. If structural abnormalities are suspected, an MRI may be needed.
Results Review & Plan: Clear explanation of findings and discussion of suitable treatment options.
What Male Fertility Tests Are Available?
We provide a range of diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of your fertility problem.
Semen Analysis
Evaluates sperm count, concentration, movement, and shape.
Hormone Blood Tests
Measures testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin levels to assess hormonal balance affecting sperm production.
Genetic Screening
Identifies chromosomal abnormalities or inherited disorders impacting fertility.
Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis
Used to detect retrograde ejaculation, where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting normally.
Imaging
Ultrasound of your testes for abnormalities including blockage, varicoceles, or testicular lesions, and MRI scan in selected cases to assess for congenital or structural problems.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test
Used to assess sperm DNA quality, which may affect fertility even when standard semen analysis results appear normal. Unlike other centres, we only use this test when indicated and recommended by the latest evidence.
Male Infertility Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a specialist for male fertility?
If you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or 6 months if your partner is over 35), a fertility assessment is recommended.
Is male infertility common?
Yes. Male factors contribute to approximately 50% of infertility cases among couples.
How long does fertility testing take?
Most initial tests, including semen analysis and blood tests, can be completed within a week, with results reviewed promptly. More specialist tests, like genetic screening, can take up to 3 weeks to get the results back
Can low testosterone cause infertility?
Yes. Low testosterone or hormonal imbalance can reduce sperm production and affect fertility. Starting testosterone can make matters worse. Our fertility experts will guide you on how to correct hormone imbalances safely.
Is male infertility treatable?
Many causes of male infertility are reversible with medication, hormonal therapy, or minor procedures, depending on the diagnosis. The aim is always to restore natural fertility wherever possible, rather than turning to assisted conception as the first port of call.
