1.Performs spermogram according to WHO guidelines;
Performs sperm functional tests (sperm DNA integrity test, HBA test, MAR test, semen oxidative level test);
Performs biochemical tests on seminal fluid (determination of glucosidase, fructose levels);
Physical and instrumental examinations of infertile male patients (Tanner scale, Prader orchidometer, ultrasonographic examination);
Applies vibrostimulation for patients with spinal injuries and for other patients with anejaculation.
1.Performs diagnostics of male infertility: physical and instrumental examination, evaluation of hormonal tests, evaluation of spermogram according to WHO guidelines, evaluation of semen functional tests;
Interprets the results of spermogram and semen functional test, interprets the tests of seminal fluid;
Determines the indications for the particular type of male infertility treatment and applies the treatment (antibacterial, hormonal, surgical, medical insemination);
Determines the indications and applies necessary hormonal treatment (anti-estrogens, gonadotropic hormones, chorionic gonadotropins);
Diagnoses and treats diseases of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland that affect male reproductive health;
Diagnoses late hypogonadism, determines the indications for its medication treatment, performs hormonal treatment and the monitoring of patients during the therapy;
Diagnoses and treats inflammatory diseases of the male genital and pelvis;
Diagnoses and treats the most common male genetic pathologies related to the reproductive health (Klinefelter syndrome);
Diagnoses gynecomastia and its causes, applies appropriate treatment;
Diagnoses and treats primary and secondary premature ejaculation;
Treatment of anejaculation: applies vibrostimulation for patients with spinal injuries and ffor other patients, and is familiar with other types of treatment of anejaculation (electroaeculation, TESE / TESA / PESA).
