Fertility is a natural process to insure the survival of human species. Through natural selection, we produce many offspring when the reproductive system works at it's peak in the suitable environment with plenty foods around. On the other hand, the reductive system may completely shut down or work at it;s minimum state and we produce less offspring, when the environment is hostile including less foods around, war, epidemic, etc. But regardless any situation. most women are capable to conceive sometimes before menopause.

We will try to give you the definitions of type of diagnosis in alphabet order.

37.
Overcome Male Infertility --What is Antisperm Antibody Test ?
An antisperm antibody test as defined as a test to look for abnormal function of immune system antibodies that fight against a male's sperm in blood, vaginal fluids, or semen. With a substance added to the sample sperm, the test will tell whether the sperm is affected by proteins of the immune system or not. If you would like to know the immunity causes of infertility, please refer back to previous articles.

38. Overcome Male Infertility --What is Biochemical Analysis ??
The study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in male testicle such as the concentration of white blood cells, the level of fructose in the semen, and the volume, pH, and liquefaction time of the ejaculate.

39. Overcome Male Infertility --What is Computer-Assist Semen Analysis ??
The sample of sperm is scanned in to the computer pre store program to show how the sperm quality, quantity, shape and movement. Since any small change of the computer may produce a significant change in sperm calculation, therefore any abnormal sperm count should be confirmed by manual count.

40. Overcome infertility --What is Hemizona Assay??
Hemizona assay is an analysis to compare the binding capacity of sample sperm of the unfertilized male to the sperm of the fertilized male through manual hand cutting versus micro manipulation In IVF and IUI fertilization.

41. Overcome Male Infertility --What Is Hormone Evaluation ??
Hormonal evaluation is a study to measure the levels of certain hormones produced by your body such as levels of FSH and testosterone which are involved directly in sperm production. The test will only be used is the semen of sperm analysis come back with low density of sperm or your specialist suspects that hormone imbalance is the cause of infertility.

42. Overcome Male Infertility --What is Human Zona Pellucida Binding Test ??
The test is necessary if the men is found to be infertile with either reduced sperm count, motility and morphology alone, or in combination and is classified with unexplained causes. The sperm and egg are collected from a couple and is used to see the sperm penetration in IVF.

43. Overcome Male Infertility --What is Hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST)??
The HOS test was performed by mixing special sugar and salt in distilled water. The mixture was incubated and immediately examined under a microscope. The percentage of reacted sperm (curled tails) and non-reacted sperm (non-curled tails) were assessed.

44. Overcome Male Infertility --What is Pene Trak ??
After a 90 minutes, the sample is observed through the microscope and the distance of the sperm have penetrated the mucus also is recorded.
