Male factors are found to be the cause of infertility about 30% of the time. In another 30-40% of couples both female and male factors contribute to the couple’s infertility. These are surprising facts for many couples to learn – especially those who mistakenly believe infertility to be a woman’s issue. Therefore, it is essential that men be tested. Male infertility is diagnosed by a semen analysis.

- Computer Assisted Semen Analysis – Cutting edge laboratory test to assess male fertility.
