However, the causes of male infertility are usually more difficult to diagnose. As in females, the specific tests administered to males are determined based on findings during the medical history and physical examination. A semen analysis is the first test for males in most cases, and additional procedures may then be scheduled based on the findings. This section of Fertility.com provides brief descriptions of the various tests a male may undergo to assist in determining the potential fertility problem.
