Semenology

Semen analysis is the most important test for assessing male fertility(Male Infertility Treatment). The count, motility (activity) and morphology (structure) of the sperm in the semen give valuable information on whether a man has impaired fertility. However, the semen test is very subjective and needs to be done by a well-trained person. At NOVA IVI Fertility, all semenologists are specialists in semen analysis. A semen sample should be given for testing after three days of sexual abstinence. The sample is best collected by masturbation in the laboratory, but if there is difficulty in collecting the sample then alternative methods are available.

 

Sperm DNA fragmentation test

This is a specialized sperm function test that assesses the quality of the genetic material in the sperm. In some men, the sperm count and motility seem adequate but the internal quality of the sperm may be deficient. This can be assessed by evaluating the sperm DNA. This test is prescribed in cases where there has been a failure of previous IVF cycles, recurrent abortions, unexplained infertility,Male Infertility Treatment or borderline semen parameters with uncertain quality.

How can counselling help?

In counselling it is possible to talk through our feelings about our infertility and its treatment; its success or failure – as well as other things that are happening in our lives which are causing us stress and distress. Expressing painful feelings can often help to relieve the pain and we can feel less alone, less burdened.

It is not a weakness to talk about how bad we feel at times, to grieve openly for what we’ve lost. In fact, it is positive and healthy and can actually reduce our stress levels.

Counselling allows us to do this in a safe environment where you will never be judged or thought silly. And it is confidential. Counselling is a positive process, aimed at increasing your power and sense of control while you are going through a treatment program that can so often make you feel powerless and out of control. It can be a way of taking care of yourself while undergoing treatment at Santaan, and the medical team actively encourages couples to do this.

Couples who are infertile and who are coping with the trauma of treatment are dealing with loss – often more loss than many people have to deal with in a lifetime. The counselling process can help people to work through their grief, help them to mourn their loss and begin to find new ways forward.
