Semen Analysis and Male Fertility: Everything You Need to Know

Private Sperm Tests in London – Count, Quality, and Fertility Checks

For couples trying to conceive, or men simply curious about their reproductive health, sperm tests are one of the most important tools available. At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, 73 Baker Street, we provide discreet, same-day sperm analysis and fertility blood testing.

Types of Sperm Tests

There are several different types of sperm and male fertility tests:

  • Sperm count test – measures how many sperm are present in a sample.
  • Sperm function test – checks how well sperm move and survive.
  • Sperm quality test – examines shape, structure, and vitality.
  • Sperm fertility test – combines count, motility, and morphology to assess overall fertility.
  • Sperm DNA fragmentation test – measures genetic damage in sperm DNA, crucial for IVF success.
  • Sperm motility test – focuses on movement and swimming ability.
  • Sperm health test – a complete review of sperm and related hormones.

We provide comprehensive semen analysis in London, performed to international standards.

Why Sperm Tests Matter

Male fertility issues account for around 40% of infertility cases. Common causes include:

  • Low sperm count
  • Poor motility
  • Abnormal sperm shape
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • DNA fragmentation

Testing gives couples clear answers and helps guide fertility treatment.

At-Home vs. Clinic Testing

You may see ads for sperm count tests at home, but these often only measure quantity – not quality, motility, or DNA integrity. At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, our laboratory sperm analysis provides accurate, medical-grade results that at-home kits cannot match.

Male Fertility Blood Tests

Alongside semen analysis, we recommend checking key hormones through blood tests:

  • Testosterone
  • FSH & LH (pituitary hormones controlling sperm production)
  • Prolactin
  • SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin)
  • Thyroid function

These tests provide a complete picture of male reproductive health.
