Semen Testing Procedure

Semen testing process

The person whose semen is to be analysed is suggested to have 3 days of ejaculatory abstinence. After 3 days, the semen should be collected in a sterile container, generally through self-stimulation. We have a private room at the clinic for this so that the collected semen can instantly be sent for testing. If a person is not comfortable with this process at the clinic, he must ensure that he brings the sample within one hour of collection so as not to compromise its quality.

We have a team of experts and an in-house laboratory with latest equipment to carry out semen analysis and present error-free and timely report generation. Depending on the initial findings, a repeat test might be recommended to identify the results with more accuracy.

What is a semen analysis test?

A semen analysis, also known as semen testing, is a laboratory test that evaluates the quality and quantity of sperm in a semen sample. It measures important factors such as sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), semen volume, and pH to help assess male fertility.

Semen testing is recommended for men who have been trying to conceive without success, have a history of fertility issues, or are experiencing conditions that may affect reproductive health. It is usually one of the first tests performed during a male fertility evaluation.

How should I prepare for a semen analysis?

Your fertility specialist may advise you to avoid ejaculation for 2–7 days before providing the semen sample. Following the preparation instructions carefully helps ensure accurate and reliable test results.

A semen analysis evaluates several key parameters, including sperm count, sperm motility, sperm morphology, semen volume, pH, and sperm concentration. These results help fertility specialists identify possible causes of male infertility and recommend appropriate treatment options.
