Laboratory Andrology at Jindal Hospital & Fertility Centre
Laboratory Andrology forms the foundation of modern male fertility evaluation and treatment. It involves advanced laboratory-based testing and processing of sperm to accurately assess male reproductive health and optimize outcomes for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as IUI, IVF, and ICSI.
At Jindal Hospital & Fertility Centre, our andrology laboratory is internationally recognized for its precision, cutting-edge technology, and adherence to WHO 6th Edition semen analysis guidelines. Led by Dr. Sunil Jindal, a pioneer in andrology in India, our laboratory services are trusted by patients and IVF centres nationwide.
Indications for Laboratory Andrology
Patients may be advised to undergo laboratory andrology services if:
- There is difficulty in conceiving for over 12 months.
- Semen analysis abnormalities are suspected (low count, motility, or morphology).
- Repeated IVF or ICSI failures occur.
- Men present with erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction.
- There is suspicion of genetic or DNA-related sperm abnormalities.
- Couples require sperm preparation for IUI, IVF, or donor programs.
Diagnosis & Treatment Options in Laboratory Andrology
Diagnostic Tests
- 1. Routine Semen Analysis
- Assessment of sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Vitality and pH measurement.
- 2. Advanced Sperm Function Tests
- Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF): Evaluates DNA integrity linked to IVF outcomes.
- Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Testing: Detects oxidative stress affecting sperm function.
- Hypo-osmotic Swelling Test (HOS): Assesses sperm membrane integrity.
- Acrosome Reaction Testing: Evaluates sperm’s ability to penetrate the egg.
- 3. Antisperm Antibody Testing – Identifies immune-related infertility.
- 4. Hormonal Assays (Integrated with Lab Work) – Correlates semen results with endocrine factors for a comprehensive diagnosis.
Therapeutic Laboratory Procedures
- 1. Sperm Preparation for IUI
- Techniques: Swim-up, Density Gradient Centrifugation.
- Purpose: Selects motile, morphologically normal sperm for insemination.
- 2. Sperm Preparation for IVF/ICSI
- Removal of debris, immotile sperm, and leukocytes.
- Enhances fertilization potential and embryo quality.
- 3. Cryopreservation Services
- Freezing of sperm samples for future use.
- Beneficial for cancer patients, donors, and pre-IVF storage.
- 4. Specialized Sperm Retrieval Processing
- Handling of testicular or epididymal samples obtained from TESA, TESE, Micro-TESE, MESA, or PESA procedures.
- 5. Advanced Microscopy Techniques
- IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection): Enables high-resolution sperm selection for ICSI.
- CASA (Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis): Provides objective, accurate sperm analysis with advanced imaging.
