Diagnostic testing for male infertility has traditionally been limited to andrology labs. The advent of home-based semen testing has the potential to allow patients to perform testing in the comfort of their home and screen those who need a formal evaluation. An extensive review of the literature was performed. There are several FDA-approved devices for home semen testing. The mechanism of the test and the results provided differ by test. The existing tests are limited in their diagnostic capabilities but may fill a niche for men who do not have access to andrology lab testing or prefer home testing.
男性不育的诊断检测传统上仅限于男科实验室。家庭精液检测的出现有可能使患者在家中舒适地进行检测，并筛选出需要进行正式评估的患者。我们进行了广泛的文献回顾。目前有几种获得 FDA 批准的家庭精液检测设备。不同的检测设备其检测机制和提供的结果有所不同。现有的检测方法在诊断能力上存在一定的局限性，但可能适合那些无法进行男科实验室检测或更喜欢家庭检测的男性。
