INFERTILITY, MALE: DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)

Routine laboratory tests include a CBC, urinalysis, chemistry panel, thyroid profile, VDRL test, and sperm count. If there is a urethral discharge, a smear and culture should be done. If the sperm count reveals oligospermia on two separate specimens, referral should be made to a urologist or endocrinologist for further evaluation.

Additional tests that can be ordered include blood tests for LH, FSH, and testosterone. Additional tests of pituitary function may be indicated. Karyotype testing and sperm function tests may be needed. If these are normal, a testicular biopsy may need to be done. Ultrasonography of the testicles may be helpful.
