Common symptoms
- No pregnancy after 12 months of trying
- A dull ache or swollen veins above the testis
- Low sex drive or erection problems
- Small testes, or a history of undescended testis
When not to wait: See a doctor the same day for sudden, severe pain in a testis. It can be a torsion, which is an emergency.
Tests that may be needed
- Semen analysis, usually repeated
- Hormone blood tests
- Scrotal ultrasound with Doppler
- Further genetic tests, in selected cases
Cost, insurance and government schemes
Cost depends on the procedure and your hospital stay. See how estimates, insurance and schemes work.
Frequently asked questions
Should the man be tested if the woman has already had tests?
Yes. A semen test is simple and is best done early, because a male factor is often part of the picture.
