Procedure

The andrologist will examine the male reproductive organs for potential anomalies. More specifically he will look at:

  • Shape, volume and firmness of the testicles
  • Epididymes
  • Ejaculatory ducts
  • Varicose veins and hernias

These aspects can give valuable information about the potential causes of irregular sperm production. For instance, a thorough clinical examination will make it possible to detect an obstruction of the ejaculatory ducts. 

Next step could be an additional check-up with an ultrasound.
