Semen Testing Procedure
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.
Faqs
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.
When should a man undergo semen testing?
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.
What does a semen analysis measure?
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.
Can abnormal semen test results be treated?
Yes. An abnormal semen analysis does not necessarily mean infertility. Depending on the underlying cause, treatments such as lifestyle modifications, medications, hormone therapy, or assisted reproductive techniques like IUI or IVF/ICSI may improve the chances of conception. Your fertility specialist will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your results.
