Fertility Analysis at Cada
More knowledge offers more possibilities. A semen analysis assesses your fertility by microscopically analyzing your sperm's ability to fertilize an egg.
Our comprehensive fertility analysis includes a small blood count, blood metabolism analysis, hormone status and infection screening. With the detailed analysis of 33 biomarkers in the blood and 17 sperm parameters, our doctors receive precise and valuable information for a sound diagnosis.
Why should you do an analysis?
A fertility analysis is a foundational step in understanding your situation for several reasons:
Support for your fertility
Understand how factors like pre-existing health conditions, stress, and age may affect your journey towards fatherhood.
Preserving Future Options
If starting a family isn't the right choice for you now, social freezing is an option to consider for preserving your fertility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Discover answers to the most common questions about our fertility analysis for men. If your query isn't addressed here, we encourage you to contact us directly.
What types of fertility tests are available for men?
Men have access to a range of fertility tests, including sperm analyses and blood tests to evaluate hormone levels. These tests provide a comprehensive assessment of a man's reproductive health.
How is a sperm analysis conducted?
A semen analysis, or spermiogram, is a standard procedure to evaluate male fertility. The process typically involves:
1. Sample Collection: The male collects their semen sample into a specialised container by masturbation, which is then delivered to the laboratory.
2. Sperm Sample Analysis: In our Cada lab, the sperm undergo detailed examination. This includes assessing the sperm count, motility, morphology, and overall vitality. Additional parameters such as semen volume, pH level, and the presence of white blood cells are also analysed, offering insights into both fertility and overall sperm health.
3. Test Results Discussion: Should any fertility impairments be identified, the consulting doctor will discuss the results and potential treatment options to enhance sperm quality. Follow-up testing may be recommended after a certain period, alongside advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support the treatment plan.
How is the sperm sample collected?
Cada provides private facilities for sample collection via masturbation, ensuring the patient can securely deposit the sample into a sterile container. Clear and detailed instructions are provided beforehand to guarantee correct collection and prompt delivery to our lab, preserving the quality and accuracy of the analysis.
Are at-home sperm tests effective?
Home testing kits can offer a basic evaluation of sperm count, volume, and motility, serving as a preliminary assessment of sperm health. These kits enable couples to gain initial insights into their reproductive chances, although they do not replace the depth of analysis provided by a comprehensive laboratory assessment.
What is the cost of a fertility test for men?
The price range for a male fertility test is between CHF 350 and CHF 1,000 with potential partial coverage by health insurance. While many services may offer just a spermiogram and infection screening, Cada's comprehensive assessment includes an in-depth medical consultation, detailed blood analysis, hormone evaluation, and a spermiogram.
Can lifestyle choices impact male fertility?
Yes, lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol intake, stress, and poor diet can adversely affect male fertility. Conversely, adopting healthy habits can significantly enhance the prospects of successful conception.
When is it advisable for men to undergo a fertility test?
A fertility assessment is recommended if a couple has not achieved pregnancy after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. Testing might be considered sooner if there are particular concerns regarding fertility or if a couple is exploring the option of sperm freezing for future use.
