Male Fertility Screening in Johor Bahru: Tests, Process & Price
Male fertility screening can help assess reproductive hormones and semen quality when a man is planning a family or experiencing difficulty conceiving.
At Southern Alpha Men Clinic in Johor Bahru, the RM399 Male Infertility Screening package includes a comprehensive hormone profile. A semen analysis is available as a recommended RM199 add-on.

When Should Men Consider Fertility Screening?
Men may consider fertility screening when planning a family, experiencing difficulty conceiving or concerned about their reproductive or hormonal health.
Screening may be appropriate when:
- A couple is planning to try for pregnancy.
- Pregnancy has not occurred after a period of regular unprotected intercourse.
- A previous semen analysis was abnormal or inconclusive.
- There are concerns about reduced sexual desire.
- Erectile difficulties are affecting attempts to conceive.
- Symptoms may suggest a testosterone or hormonal concern.
- There is a history of testicular injury, infection or surgery.
- Medication, testosterone treatment or anabolic steroid use may have affected sperm production.
- A man would like a current assessment of reproductive health before delaying parenthood.
A fertility assessment provides information about current reproductive health. A single hormone panel or semen sample cannot reliably predict future fertility.
Couples experiencing difficulty conceiving may both require appropriate assessment because reproductive factors can involve either partner or both partners. Semen analysis may be recommended because hormone tests alone do not measure sperm concentration, movement or shape.
Our male infertility assessment and treatment page provides broader information about possible causes, diagnosis and fertility management. This guide focuses on the clinic’s screening package, semen analysis, preparation, prices and visit process.
What Is Included in the RM399 Male Infertility Screening Package?
The RM399 package consists of a comprehensive reproductive hormone profile and does not directly assess sperm quality. Semen analysis is available separately for RM199.
The hormone profile may help Dr Gan identify hormonal findings that require further assessment. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medication, previous test results and reproductive goals.
| Assessment | What It Helps Assess |
|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | Measures circulating testosterone as part of hormonal assessment |
| Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin, or SHBG | Helps interpret testosterone availability |
| Free Androgen Index, or FAI | Provides a calculated estimate related to androgen availability |
| Estradiol | Contributes to assessment of hormonal balance |
| Progesterone | Provides additional information as part of the reproductive hormone profile |
| Luteinising Hormone, or LH | Helps assess signalling between the pituitary gland and testes |
| Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, or FSH | Helps assess hormonal signalling associated with sperm production |
| Prolactin | May help identify a hormonal factor affecting sexual or reproductive function |
| Vitamin D | Assesses vitamin D status as part of the clinic’s package |
An abnormal hormone result does not automatically identify the reason for difficulty conceiving. Normal hormone findings also do not confirm that sperm concentration, movement or shape are normal.
After reviewing the hormone results, Dr Gan may discuss whether semen analysis, repeat testing or other investigations would be appropriate.
Testosterone Treatment and Fertility
Men who are trying to conceive should tell Dr Gan before starting or continuing testosterone treatment because externally supplied testosterone can suppress sperm production.
Patients should not stop prescribed testosterone or other medication without medical advice. Fertility goals, current treatment and possible alternatives should be discussed during the consultation.
More information is available on our testosterone and TRT assessment page.
Recommended Add-On: Semen Analysis — RM199
A semen analysis is available for RM199 and may be recommended alongside the hormone profile when fertility is the main concern.
Semen analysis may provide important information when a couple is having difficulty conceiving because it directly assesses sperm and semen characteristics.
The test may measure:
- Semen volume
- Sperm concentration
- Total sperm count
- Sperm motility
- Sperm morphology
Hormonal blood tests cannot measure these semen parameters. Combining the reproductive hormone profile with semen analysis may therefore provide a broader view of male reproductive health.
An abnormal result does not automatically mean that natural conception is impossible. Semen findings may vary, and repeat testing or additional assessment may be recommended where appropriate.
Why May Hormone Testing and Semen Analysis Be Combined?
Hormone testing and semen analysis assess different aspects of reproductive health. The hormone profile may identify abnormalities in signals involved in testosterone production and sperm development, while semen analysis measures sperm concentration, count, motility, morphology and semen volume.
| Assessment | Main Information Provided |
|---|---|
| Reproductive hormone profile | Hormonal signals related to testosterone production and reproductive function |
| Semen analysis | Measurable sperm and semen characteristics |
| Combined interpretation | A broader view of possible hormonal and sperm-related factors |
Dr Gan may interpret both assessments together when a broader evaluation is appropriate. Results are also considered alongside reproductive history, symptoms, medication and the couple’s circumstances.
How Should I Prepare for Testing?
Preparation depends on whether the visit includes only the reproductive hormone profile or also includes semen analysis.
Before the Hormone Blood Test
Patients should:
- Bring a list of current medication, supplements and hormone products.
- Tell Dr Gan about testosterone treatment or anabolic steroid use.
- Bring previous hormone, semen or fertility results where available.
- Follow any specific instructions provided when booking.
Do not stop prescribed medication unless advised by a doctor.
Before Semen Analysis
The clinic currently advises at least three days without ejaculation before semen collection. Follow the exact preparation instructions provided when booking, as the laboratory may specify a particular abstinence period.
Patients should also:
- Follow the sample-collection instructions carefully.
- Use the collection container provided or approved by the clinic or laboratory.
- Confirm where and when the sample should be collected.
- Inform our team if any part of the sample is lost.
- Avoid using unapproved lubricants or containers.
Following the clinic’s collection instructions helps reduce avoidable variation between samples and supports more useful result interpretation.
What Happens During the Screening Visit?
Patients do not need to decide which tests they require before attending. Dr Gan begins by reviewing the concern and explaining which assessments may be suitable.
- Step 1: Private Consultation Dr Gan discusses the patient’s reproductive goals, how long the couple has been trying to conceive, previous pregnancies, sexual function, medical history, medication and earlier test results.
- Step 2: Blood Sample Collection A blood sample is collected for the reproductive hormone profile included in the RM399 package.
- Step 3: Semen Collection, Where Applicable Patients adding the RM199 semen analysis follow the preparation and collection instructions provided by our team.
- Step 4: Laboratory Testing Blood and semen samples are processed for the tests requested during the consultation.
- Step 5: Doctor Review Dr Gan reviews the results alongside the patient’s symptoms, medical history, medication and reproductive circumstances.
- Step 6: Next-Step Discussion Depending on the findings, we may discuss lifestyle measures, repeat testing, additional investigations, treatment or referral.
Many routine results may be available within approximately 24 hours, although timing depends on the tests requested and laboratory arrangements. Our team can confirm the expected turnaround time during the visit.
How Are Male Fertility Screening Results Interpreted?
Hormone and semen results must be interpreted together with the patient’s history and the couple’s overall circumstances. No single result provides a complete explanation of fertility.
An abnormal finding may require confirmation or further investigation. It does not automatically mean that conception is impossible.
Dr Gan may consider:
- Whether the hormone and semen findings are consistent
- Whether medication or hormone use may affect the results
- Whether repeat or additional testing is needed
- Whether either partner requires further assessment or referral
Male and female partners may both require assessment when a couple is experiencing difficulty conceiving.
Erectile difficulty can interfere with attempts to conceive but is not the same as abnormal sperm quality. Men experiencing this concern can learn more about our erectile dysfunction assessment and treatment.
What May Be Recommended After Screening?
Recommendations depend on the consultation findings and test results. We do not apply one standard fertility plan to every patient.
Possible next steps may include:
- Lifestyle optimisation
- Weight management where relevant
- Sleep and exercise improvements
- Review of smoking or alcohol use
- Nutritional or supplement advice where appropriate
- Review of current medication
- Repeat semen analysis
- Additional hormonal or medical tests
- Treatment where clinically appropriate
- Referral for further fertility assessment
Further tests may be necessary when the screening results do not fully explain the concern or when the patient’s history suggests another possible contributing factor.

Contact UsFrequently Asked Questions
Men may consider screening when planning a family, experiencing difficulty conceiving, following up on an abnormal semen result or concerned about reproductive hormone symptoms. Dr Gan can advise whether hormone testing, semen analysis or both may be suitable.
A couple may consider fertility assessment when pregnancy has not occurred after a period of regular unprotected intercourse. Earlier assessment may be appropriate when either partner has a known reproductive-health concern, previous abnormal result or relevant medical history. Dr Gan can advise on suitable timing based on the couple’s circumstances.
Semen analysis may be recommended when fertility is the main concern because it assesses sperm and semen characteristics that hormone tests cannot measure. Dr Gan can advise whether it should be performed alongside the hormone profile.
No. Fertility concerns may involve sperm production, sperm movement, sperm shape, semen delivery, medication, medical conditions, sexual function or partner-related factors. Low testosterone is only one possible consideration.
Blood and semen collection may be completed during the arranged visit when preparation requirements have been followed. Many routine results may be available within approximately 24 hours, but turnaround time depends on the tests requested and laboratory arrangements.
The clinic currently advises at least three days without ejaculation before sample collection. Follow the exact instructions provided when booking and inform our team if any part of the sample is lost.
