One Step: Fertility Test for Men, Indicate Normal or Low Sperm Count – 2 Tests

Fertility Test for Men

• Sperm Concentration and Infertility: Doctors use sperm concentration to diagnose male infertility. Inability to fertilize the female ovum during reproduction is a common sign of infertility in men. The main reason is often a shortage of healthy sperm cells. Other reasons include too many inactive, weak, or misshapen sperm cells, interfering cells in semen, and various physical issues like stress, recent fever, or sudden diet changes affecting sperm production.
• Infertility Stats: About 15% of couples face infertility, failing to get pregnant after a year of unprotected, timed intercourse. Among those couples, 40% deal with male infertility. Since low sperm count is a major cause, it’s important to check sperm count early in diagnosing infertility.
• SP-10 Test: The One Step SP-10 Male Fertility Rapid Test detects a sperm-specific protein called Acrosomal Protein SP-10. This protein is exclusive to male germ cells and not found elsewhere. The test specifically measures sperm concentration in semen to help pinpoint infertility causes.
• Test Result and Action: The test gives a positive result if sperm concentration is above 15 million/mL in semen, which is internationally recognized as the normal fertility level. Low concentration indicates lower chances of conception. If the result is low, it’s recommended to consult a medical professional for advice on improving sperm concentration.
