Seminal Abnormality

Seeking evaluation is worthwhile when you have been trying to achieve a pregnancy unsuccessfully for a prolonged time, as a semen abnormality may be among the factors. This term covers changes in the characteristics of semen, such as the count, movement, or shape of the sperm.

What may be observed: variations in the number of sperm, in their motility, or in their structure, detected through semen analysis.

Associated factors: hormonal influences, infections, lifestyle habits, exposure to certain agents, or causes of genetic origin.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation may involve a gynecologist in the context of a couple's fertility, as well as a geneticist or an endocrinologist when a hormonal or hereditary cause is suspected. If you have doubts about fertility, a professional evaluation helps to clarify them.
