Advanced Solutions for Fatherhood
Male fertility testing at Gynatal Clinic (Timișoara, Romania) offers comprehensive diagnostics including standard spermograms, spermocultures, and advanced Halosperm DNA fragmentation tests. Our urological specialists identify pre-testicular, testicular, and post-testicular factors to create personalized treatment plans, including ICSI, IMSI, or surgical TESE/PESA for complex cases.
Male factors contribute to approximately 50% of all infertility cases. At Gynatal, we believe that understanding male fertility is not just about conception—it is a vital indicator of a man’s general health, hormonal balance, and even longevity.
Medical guidelines suggest an evaluation if:
You and your partner have been trying to conceive for 12 months (or 6 months if the female partner is over 35).
There is a history of infections, varicocele, or testicular trauma.
You are exposed to high-risk environments (heat, toxins, or radiation).
You wish to preserve fertility via Social Freezing before medical treatments or vasectomy.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory provides high-precision results to minimize "Cognitive Friction" and provide clear answers quickly.
The primary fertility test assessing sperm count, shape (morphology), and motility.
Standard analysis may miss hidden genetic factors. The Halosperm test evaluates DNA fragmentation, which is a common cause of repeated IVF failure or first-trimester miscarriages.
Our specialists, including Dr. Tucicovschi Vlad, performs a comprehensive urological evaluations to identify treatable causes of male infertility and guide the most apropriate treatment
Even if the spermogram shows a zero sperm count (azoospermia), our clinic provides advanced surgical retrieval options:
PESA / TESA: Minimally invasive aspiration from the epididymis or testicle.
TESE / MicroTESE: Surgical biopsy to find isolated pockets of sperm production.

A semen analysis is a quantitative assessment of semen used to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology. The recommended period of sexual abstinence is a maximum of 3 days (sexual abstinence refers to the absence of ejaculation).
The recommended collection method is masturbation. If collection by this method is not possible (due to personal, physical, religious, psychological, or other reasons), the assisted reproduction center staff is available to provide information regarding alternative options.
For proper semen sample collection through masturbation, it is recommended to urinate before collection. After urination, hands and the penis should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Uncircumcised men should retract the foreskin and clean the area underneath carefully. The penis should not be dried afterward.
The entire semen sample should be collected in the sterile container provided by the assisted reproduction center. Any loss of ejaculate, especially the first portion, which contains the highest concentration of sperm, must be reported to the center staff, as this information is important for the interpretation of the results. The container should be handled carefully to avoid contamination. Any accidental contact with the inside walls of the container or the interior of the lid should also be reported to the staff.
After collection, the container should be closed carefully and left in the location indicated by the assisted reproduction center staff.
We recommend that sample collection be performed at the assisted reproduction center. If this is not possible (due to personal, physical, religious, psychological, or other reasons), the center staff will provide guidance regarding available alternatives.
Any antibiotic treatment, other medications, periods of significant stress, existing health conditions, or the use of alcohol, tobacco, or recreational drugs should be reported to the assisted reproduction center staff to ensure accurate interpretation of the results.
In addition, according to the WHO guidelines, at least two semen analyses performed within a three-week interval are required for accurate interpretation and the establishment of a correct diagnosis.
The results of this test can help identify potential fertility issues and guide the selection of the most appropriate treatment.
Most tests, like blood work and spermograms, are painless. Minor surgical procedures like TESE are performed under anesthesia or sedation for total comfort.
Yes. Sperm production takes approximately 74–90 days. Changes such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, and a balanced diet can significantly improve sperm quality within 3 months.
