The issues with sperm come to light only when the couple is unable to conceive despite several attempts. The quality of the sperm can be examined using:
- Semen analysis: A test where the semen is tested for its sperm content.

- Checking for blockages, allergies or restrictions in the penis
- Physically examining the penis, scrotum, and prostate.
- Externally stimulating the sperm motility using medication and injectables.
