Male factor infertility accounts for about 50% of the incidence of infertility in couples. In current practice, the men must attend a clinic or hospital facility to provide a semen analysis, which is key to the diagnosis of the male reproductive potential. However, many men are often embarrassed with the process and conventional semen analysis requires complex, labor intensive inspection with a microscope. To mitigate these problems, one of the solutions can be at-home semen analysis. In this review we examine the literature of currently available at home semen analysis test kits, describe their limitations, and compare them to the conventional lab-based methods.
男性因素导致的不孕约占夫妻不孕发生率的50%。在当前的临床实践中，男性必须前往诊所或医院进行精液分析，这是诊断男性生殖潜力的关键。然而，许多男性往往对这个过程感到尴尬，而且传统的精液分析需要借助显微镜进行复杂、 labor intensive的检查。为了缓解这些问题，解决方案之一可以是在家进行精液分析。在这篇综述中，我们研究了目前可用的家用精液分析测试试剂盒的文献，描述了它们的局限性，并将它们与传统的基于实验室的方法进行了比较。 （注：“labor intensive”此处似有误，可能是“labor-intensive”，意为“劳动密集型的” ）
