Semen Analysis
The primary test to evaluate sperm health and identify common causes of male infertility.
Purpose
Semen analysis is the first and most important diagnostic test for male fertility. It evaluates key sperm parameters and helps your specialist understand whether sperm factors may be contributing to difficulty conceiving.
Evaluates sperm count, motility, morphology, and volume.
Procedure
A semen sample is collected after a short abstinence period and analyzed in the lab for sperm quality and quantity.
Abstinence Preparation
Maintain 2–7 days of abstinence before sample collection for accurate assessment.
Sample Collection
Procedure: Collected via masturbation after 2–7 days of abstinence. The sample is collected in a sterile container as per clinic instructions.
Laboratory Analysis
The lab measures sperm count, motility, morphology, volume, and other semen parameters.
Results Review & Next Steps
Your doctor reviews the results and recommends next steps—repeat testing, lifestyle changes, medications, or ART planning (IUI/IVF/ICSI) depending on findings.
Clinical Relevance
Semen analysis detects common conditions like:
- Oligospermia: Low sperm count
- Asthenospermia: Poor motility
- Teratospermia: Abnormal morphology
- Azoospermia: No sperm in semen
These findings guide the fertility plan—whether to focus on medical management, advanced sperm selection, IUI, IVF/ICSI, or sperm retrieval options.
