Cytology
Andrology (Male Infertility Semen Analysis) is offered at University Hospital North Durham (UHND) Histopathology Laboratory. The Pathology department is located on the lower ground floor, between the lifts and stairs C and D.
An appointment system is in place for all semen analysis at UHND. Patients who have not received an appointment from the Specialist Nurse led Fertility Clinic can call the laboratory to arrange an appointment time to drop off their sample. Samples will be accepted by appointment only. Samples are to be produced at home and brought to UHND for the appointment, preferably within one hour of production. There are no facilities at UHND available to produce samples.
The laboratory opening hours are: 8.30am - 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. You can call the laboratory on: 0191 3332446
We aim to provide most of our results within 48 hours of specimen receipt in the laboratory however when that is not possible our turnaround time for Andrology is 7 days from receipt.
