Core Male Evaluation
The cornerstone of male fertility testing is a Semen Analysis:

Infectious Disease Screening: Both partners are legally required to be screened for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and syphilis.
Genetic Testing: Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) can be performed on embryos to screen for chromosomal abnormalities (PGT-A) or specific inherited disorders (PGT-M) before transfer.
