A basic idea of male fertility is provided by a sperm analysis. This is also the first fertility examination the couple undergoes and it is unnecessary to conduct any detailed examinations of the woman before its results are known. There is no need to worry about the retrieval process itself. There is a special discreet room at the clinic for this purpose, where men can go alone, or accompanied by their partner. It is also possible to bring a sample from home. Every man should undergo preventive sperm testing. The result can be reassuring, and perhaps even motivate one to freeze healthy sperm, or highlight problems and enable them to be resolved.
