|---|---|
| Urological Assessment | Detailed history (including previous infections, trauma, surgery), physical exam, and imaging for structural issues (e.g., Varicocoele). |
| Sperm Analysis | Detailed analysis of sperm count (Oligospermia), motility, and morphology. |
| Hormonal Profiling | Blood tests to assess key hormones like Testosterone, FSH, and LH, identifying hormonal infertility drivers. |
| Genetic Testing | Testing for key genetic factors (e.g., Y chromosome microdeletions) when indicated. |
| Post-Assessment | Development of a personalised treatment plan involving medical, hormonal, or microsurgical intervention. |
