Male Comprehensive Fertility Roadmap
A comprehensive male reproductive diagnostic evaluation combining key anabolic hormones, pituitary regulators, seminal trace minerals, and full semen analysis—designed to evaluate sperm quality, testicular function, and reproductive readiness.
Overview Highlights
- 7 Comprehensive Endocrine & Seminal Biomarkers Tested
- Includes Complete Diagnostic Semen Analysis
- At-Home Blood Sample Collection & Clinical Handling
- 2–5 Days Abstinence Required for Semen Collection
- Results Delivered Within 12 to 24 Hours
What Is Measured
Androgens & Testicular Axis (3 Parameters)
- Free Testosterone
- Total Testosterone
- SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
Pituitary & Reproductive Signaling (3 Parameters)
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone - Spermatogenesis Driver)
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone - Testosterone Production Driver)
- Prolactin
Essential Seminal Mineral (1 Parameter)
- Serum Zinc (Critical for Sperm Motility & DNA Integrity)
Semen Analysis Parameters
- Volume, Viscosity, & pH
- Sperm Concentration & Total Count
- Total & Progressive Motility
- Sperm Morphology (% Normal Forms)
- Leukocyte Count & Agglutination
Related Symptoms
- Difficulty conceiving after 6–12 months of unassisted trying
- Low sex drive, erectile difficulties, or reduced morning erections
- Reduced testicular volume, localized discomfort, or prior varicoceles
- Decreased muscle mass, persistent low physical energy, or mood changes
- History of mumps, testicular injury, undescended testicles, or anabolic steroid use
Clinical Indications & Benefits
- Evaluates pituitary-gonadal signaling (FSH/LH) to differentiate primary vs. secondary testicular dysfunction
- Measures total and bioavailable testosterone alongside crucial co-factors (Zinc) for spermatogenesis
- Provides full objective baseline data on sperm count, motility, and structural morphology for clinical family planning
Patient Preparation
- 2–5 days of strict sexual abstinence required prior to semen sample collection (neither less than 2 days nor more than 7 days)
- Morning blood sample collection preferred for peak testosterone and hormone accuracy
- Semen sample produced on-site or delivered to the lab within 1 hour of collection, maintaining body temperature
- Plain water intake permitted and encouraged
Samples are collected at home by trained clinical staff and processed through an accredited laboratory, with a physician available to talk you through the results.
