- General Physical examination and understanding the medical history
- Semen samples can be taken from couples for examination.
- Post-ejaculation urine tests (urinalysis): Urine tests are conducted for finding the signs of diabetes and other root level health conditions.
- Ultrasound: This test is usually done by a specialist in the lab using a wand-like device held over the blood vessels that supply the penis. It creates a video image to see if you have blood flow problems. Sometimes, it is done in combination with an injection of medications.
- Hormone testing: Hormones produced by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and testicles are crucial to sperm production. The blood test is conducted to know the level of testosterone and other hormones.
