Semen analysis in Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral
About the clinic
Semen analysis (spermiogram) is a laboratory examination of semen fluid and sperm at the clinic of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral in Istanbul, Turkey. This diagnostic checks for sample volume, sperm count, motility, and morphology to evaluate male reproductive potential. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate, providing structured support for international patients.
Testing process and preparation
The analysis serves as a primary tool for determining the most suitable fertility treatment method. A specific protocol helps maintain the accuracy of the findings:
- Preparation. Requires 3 to 5 days of sexual abstinence before the appointment.
- Sample collection. Performed via masturbation in a dedicated sperm donation room using specialized containers.
- Liquefaction. The sample is kept at 37°C for 15 to 30 minutes to liquefy before microscopic evaluation.
- Sperm washing. A two-stage purification process lasting about 35 to 40 minutes separates sperm from seminal plasma.
- Evaluation. A specialist examines the sample to measure the shape and movement of the sperm cells.
Clinic features and setting
This is an outpatient diagnostic performed in a specialized laboratory setting in Kadıköy. The on-site sperm washing process prepares the sample for potential IVF or ICSI planning during the same visit. The facility follows international standards for sample handling and microscopic analysis. Patients can receive a clear overview of their reproductive health based on the laboratory report. Those interested in this diagnostic can leave a request on Bookimed for more information.

These memberships keep the clinic aligned with global standards in fertility and endoscopic surgery.
Reproductology and IVF Services
The clinic treats both female and male infertility using evidence-based protocols. Healthy couples have a 25% monthly pregnancy chance. IVF can increase this to 60%. Specialists create individualized plans based on age and ovarian reserve. The reproductology department manages several conditions and procedures:
- IVF (in vitro fertilization) and ICSI microinjection
- Controlled cryopreservation of embryos stored in liquid nitrogen
- Fertility preservation through egg freezing
- Micro TESE for male patients with no sperm in semen analysis
- Management of PCOS and ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts)
Fertility preservation is a core focus for patients planning future families. The specialist evaluates ovarian reserve before recommending egg or embryo freezing.
Advanced Gynecological Surgery
Specialists perform minimally invasive surgeries to treat uterine and ovarian conditions. These procedures often address underlying causes of infertility. Surgeons use vNOTES, a technique that leaves no visible abdominal scars. The surgical team performs various interventions:
- Hysteroscopic septum resection to correct uterine abnormalities
- Laparoscopic myomectomy for the removal of uterine fibroids
- Hysteroscopic polypectomy to remove endometrial polyps
- Surgical management of hydrosalpinx to improve IVF success rates
For fibroids, the clinic recommends removal if they exceed 6 cm or cause pressure. Pre-operative hormone therapy may shrink fibroids or treat anemia. Surgeons also treat urinary incontinence with non-surgical laser therapy when suitable.
Diagnostic Technologies
The clinic uses detailed imaging and lab tests to build treatment plans. Diagnostic tools help identify uterine adhesions, fibroids, or blocked tubes. The facility has specific diagnostic equipment:
- Transvaginal and pelvic ultrasound systems
- HSG (hysterosalpingogram) for uterine X-ray imaging
- Colposcopy for early detection of cervical cellular changes
- Hysteroscopy for direct visual inspection of the uterine cavity
- Semen analysis and DNA testing for male fertility evaluation
These tools let the specialist monitor pregnancy and screen for gynecological concerns.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides structured support for international patients through its health tourism authorization. Communication is available in English for consultations and treatment planning. The specialist guides patients through each technical step of the IVF process. The practice is located in Kızıltoprak, a central Istanbul district.
