The SpermCheck test can be conducted in the privacy of your own home, providing you with helpful information regarding your fertile status Ð without the embarrassment or inconvenience that often accompanies a clinical semen analysis. Why Test Your Sperm Count? Low sperm count is one of the main causes of fertility issues in couples experiencing difficulty in conceiving. Simply put, the fewer sperm a man produces, the lower the likelihood is that one of them will be able to successfully fertilize the egg. There are obvious benefits to determining if sperm count is an issue for you. The sooner an issue is identified, the sooner appropriate treatment can be started. Possible treatments include over the counter-male fertility supplements, prescription drugs, or varicocele surgery.
