ABSTRACT
The essential goal of semen analysis is the assessment of male fertilization potential. Should that potential be discovered as compromised, semen analysis should then aid in the diagnosis of any underlying etiology. Inherent complexities between various sperm factors, however, necessitate a logical conceptual framework and rigorous laboratory methodology. Most importantly, the proper interpretation of these analysis results cannot only provide vital diagnostic information, but further recommend a battery of specialized semen analysis assays for a more refined and comprehensive fertility evaluation, along with direct therapeutic interventions.
