MY ROUTINE OF SEMEN ANALYSIS

The purpose of my routine of semen analysis is to give all the informations needful for the diagnosis. It evaluates several seminal parameters, in order to obtain data of clinical significance to investigate the functional activity of the male genital organs, as follows:

TO EVALUATE THE TESTICULAR AND EPIDIDYMAL FUNCTION

Sperm concentration
Sperm morphology including strict criteria
Acrosome status
Nuclear integrity
Plasma membrane integrity
Immature germ cell concentration
Differential analysis of immature germ cells
Sertoli cells Count
Alkaline phosphatase activity
Analysis of sperm motility
Analysis of sperm necrosis

TO EVALUATE THE SECRETORY ACTIVITY OF THE SEMINAL VESICLES

Fructose
Inorganic phosphorus
Physical examination (coagulation, liquefaction, volume, viscosity and pH)
Count of seminal vesicles epithelial cells

TO EVALUTE THE SECRETORY ACTIVITY OF THE PROSTATE

Total calcium
Acid phosphatase activity
Zinc
Physical examination (coagulation, liquefaction, volume, viscosity and pH)
Count of prostate epithelial cells

OTHER TESTS

Auto-mmunity (sperm agglutination, pseudoaglutination, immobilization)
Antisperm antibodies (MAR-test)
Bacterioscopic examination
Leukocyte count
Differential leukocyte count
Seminophages count
Differential seminophages count
Red Blood cells count
Residual bodies count
Sperm recovery (swin-up)
Reactive oxygen species in leukocytes and spermatozoa
Hypoosmotic swelling test
