Semen analysis

Description of the service

The sperm laboratory examines semen volume, sperm density, total sperm count, mobility and possible antisperm antibodies. If necessary, further semen testing can also be carried out in the laboratory. After sterilisation, the semen is examined to verify that it contains no sperm.
