Although abnormal
semen parameters are generally considered to be poor predictors of fertility,
Semen Analysis (SA) parameters are often used
as a screening test to detect male factor infertility.
Certainly, men
with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia have markedly impaired fertility
potential. Since men with abnormal fertility could undergo various medical or
surgical treatments to improve semen parameters and fertility, it is clinically
relevant to have a test for infertility.
According to the
American Society for Reproductive Medicine and American Urological Association
guidelines, semen analysis and male reproductive history are considered the
primary screening evaluation for male fertility potential.
