One of the main parts of an As­sis­ted Re­pro­duc­tion Unit is the An­dro­logy La­bo­ra­tory. In this room, we carry out the eva­lua­tion of the fer­ti­le po­ten­tial of the male in ad­di­tion to the pre­pa­ra­tion of semen sam­ples for as­sis­ted re­pro­duc­tion treat­ments, ma­na­ge­ment of the sperm bank for pa­tients who wish to pre­ser­ve their fer­ti­lity or men who do­na­te their ga­me­tes al­truis­ti­ca­lly to other couples or women so they can achie­ve offs­pring.

Its co­rrect ope­ra­tion and coor­di­na­tion with the in vitro fer­ti­li­za­tion la­bo­ra­tory and the me­di­cal team is im­por­tant for good out­co­mes.

In this cour­se, we will des­cri­be the pro­ce­du­res per­for­med in the An­dro­logy La­bo­ra­tory high­ligh­ting the scien­ti­fic evi­den­ce that sup­ports them and the im­pro­ve­ment of the lines from a diag­nos­tic and the­ra­peu­tic point of view in one of the most dy­na­mic fields of as­sis­ted re­pro­duc­tion.
