Male Fertility Markers

Meaning

Male Fertility Markers are a set of quantifiable biological parameters and clinical indicators used to assess the capacity for successful male reproduction. These markers extend beyond basic semen analysis, encompassing key hormonal levels, genetic integrity, and the functional status of the reproductive tract. Essential hormonal markers include serum testosterone, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which reflect the integrity of the HPG axis regulation. Other important indicators include sperm concentration, motility, morphology, and markers of oxidative stress in seminal plasma. Comprehensive evaluation of these markers is essential for diagnosing and managing male reproductive health.
