In the initial interview we get to know each other, we take your detailed medical history and develop a strategy for your further treatment. Contribute to the success of your first conversation by bringing all existing test results. Use our "initial consultation checklist" for your preparation. This first appointment gives you the opportunity to address any topics and questions that you are dealing with. You can formulate your expectations and express your wishes. 

It is important to us that you feel that you are well advised, optimally treated and overall comfortable with us. 

That depends on your individual situation.  

Man and woman are included in the diagnosis. We discuss all necessary examinations with you in detail. Possible investigations include an ultrasound examination of the woman, a female hormone panel, examination of the tubal patency (HyCoSy) and a semen test  (spermiogram)  in men. 

As a rule, we conduct an  ultrasound examination  on the woman during the  initial consultation  in order to gain insight into your specific situation from a fertility perspective. 

The so-called Hydro Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) is an almost risk-free  and  gentle examination. It takes about five to ten minutes. It may cause mild, menstrual-type pain that quickly passes. 

No, the examination is performed on an outpatient basis without anesthesia.

We examine the spermogram quickly. Usually you get the results after 30 minutes.

In principle, this would be possible, but we prefer the semen sample to be done at the Wunschkind-Klinik. We provide you with a  discreet space in which your privacy is maintained. The main reason is that no more than 60 minutes should elapse between ejaculation and examination of the sperm. The  temperature  also plays an important role. In addition, only specific containers may be used to prevent contamination of the semen sample. 

In the clinic, the optimal conditions are met to enable accurate semen analysis. 

Wir untersuchen das Spermiogramm zügig. In der Regel erhalten Sie die Ergebnisse nach 30 Minuten.

80% of couples conceive after one year of regular sexual intercourse without contraception. After this time period, you should clarify the causes. This includes a spermiogram. 

You can find the costs for a spermiogram as part of fertility treatment here. We will be happy to inform you about the prices, financing and subsidies through the IVF Fund.

We use a spermiogram to assess male fertility. In doing so, we evaluate the quality of your sperm according to various criteria. These include the number of sperm in the ejaculate, the shape, motility, liquefaction time, volume of the ejaculate, viscosity (whether the semen sample is viscous), pH, color and vitality (how many live sperm are contained in the ejaculate).

First, we will inform you in detail and make an appointment with you. You should be sexually abstinent for at least three days before this date. You should not have a cold, inflammation or fever on the day of the spermiogram, as this may affect the result. In our clinic, we have a discreet room where you will obtain the semen sample for us to examine by maturbarion. We will discuss the results and subsequent treatment recommendations with you and your partner in a follow-up appointment. 

If the result of your spermiogram is not due to a previous disease or has genetic reasons, you should consider lifestyle changes. Smoking, drinking large amounts of alcohol, being overweight and excessive stress have a negative effect on sperm quality. Healthy diet, regular exercise and emotional well-being help to improve sperm quality. 

A complete sperm production cycle takes 96 days. In principle, a spermiogram can be done about 12 weeks after cancer treatment. However, the regeneration of fertility depends on various factors, such as the level of the treatment dose received or the age of the patient. Often, the spermiogram was already of reduced quality before the start cancer treatment. Seek advice from your treating physician before scheduling a spermiogram. Especially in the case of atesticular tumor, full recovery can take up to three years, and in certain cases up to nine years.
