Sperm quality describes various characteristics of the sperm cells that determine whether fertilization of the egg is possible. At fertisuisse, we regularly meet couples with an unfulfilled desire to have children, and the sperm quality of the man is a decisive aspect in the assessment. Sperm quality is assessed on the basis of various characteristics, including the number of sperm in the ejaculate, their motility and their shape. A high concentration of healthy, actively motile sperm increases the likelihood of successful fertilization by natural means. However, if the sperm count is reduced or motility is restricted, this can significantly reduce the chances of pregnancy.
Various factors can influence sperm quality. In addition to genetic influences, lifestyle, environmental pollution, hormonal disorders or infections play an important role. Stress, smoking, alcohol and drug consumption, obesity or an unbalanced diet can also have a negative effect on sperm production. In some cases, no clear cause can be found, which can be very stressful for couples who want to have children. At our practice in Olten and Basel, we offer a thorough assessment of male fertility, focusing on the spermiogram. This laboratory test allows a precise analysis of the ejaculate with regard to sperm concentration, motility and morphology. It is an important part of the diagnosis of an unfulfilled desire to have children and often provides initial indications of possible causes.
If the analysis reveals a reduction in sperm quality, we will advise you comprehensively on possible further steps. In many cases, an improvement can be achieved through targeted medical measures or a change in lifestyle. The clarification of sperm quality is a sensitive but important step in fertility diagnostics. fertisuisse offers you not only professional expertise, but also a trusting atmosphere in which we respond to your individual situation.
