Male infertility
The traditional perception that the causes of a couple’s failure to conceive were attributed to women exclusively, has greatly delayed investigation of men’s fertilising potential, as it only started 15-20 years ago.
The comprehensive assessment of the male infertility factor requires the performance of a documented laboratory control of the male sperm. Apart from the conventional sperm parameters, which are included in the basic sperm analysis (spermogram), contemporary scientific research
The avoidance of daily life factors associated with spermatotoxic effects may contribute to the protection of sperm. Strengthening the body with substances that shield the general state of health, especially in cases where nutrition is inadequate, could also help in this direction.

The term “subfertility” refers to the phenomenon of a couple being unable to achieve pregnancy, after one year of systematic intercourse without birth control.When the diagnostic control of the couple detects a problem in the fertilising ability of man, then reference is made to “male subfertility”.
In the Laboratory of Spermatology G.Lymberopoulos the provision of high quality and reliable diagnostic services is our unwavering goal.
Therefore, it is a special honor and an acknowledgment of the quality of our services, the fact that the SSP and DNA tests are now accredited by the National Accreditation System (E.S.Y.D.).
