What is a Comprehensive Male Fertility Assessment?

A Comprehensive Male Fertility Assessment is a detailed, subspecialised evaluation designed to accurately diagnose the factors contributing to male infertility, which affects up to 50% of couples struggling to conceive. This goes far beyond a standard semen analysis, involving detailed hormonal, genetic, and structural assessments.

Treatment Details

The assessment process is collaborative and multi-step, leveraging the expertise of Dr. Shannon Kim and the Kalix Care Team.

Assessment Component Focus
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.

The Kalix Approach

Our male fertility specialists, led by Dr. Shannon Kim, operate with a highly focused clinical philosophy: Optimisation First.

  1. Beyond the Donor: We provide viable options where general fertility centres often revert to sperm donors. Our goal is to identify and treat underlying modifiable factors (varicocoele, hormonal issues) to improve natural fertility or maximise the success of sperm retrieval.
  2. Microsurgical Planning: The assessment is designed to plan for advanced procedures like Microsurgical Sperm Retrieval (mTESE), ensuring the highest chance of success with the least trauma.
  3. Co-ordinated IVF Care: We work collaboratively with major IVF centres, providing the specialised urological intervention required while maintaining your independence as a patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a specialised urologist for fertility?

A reproductive urologist focuses on the surgical and medical conditions causing infertility. They can identify and treat structural issues (like varicocoele) or perform advanced microsurgery to find viable sperm, offering solutions beyond basic medical management.

Does this assessment cover azoospermia (no sperm)?

Yes. A comprehensive assessment is critical for Azoospermia. It determines whether the issue is obstructive or non-obstructive, directly informing the decision to proceed with advanced procedures like mTESE.
