Semen Analysis

What is Semen Analysis?

A semen analysis is a laboratory test used to evaluate various characteristics of a man’s semen and the sperm it contains. It helps assess male fertility by measuring:

• Sperm count (number of sperm present in semen)
• Sperm motility (how well the sperm move)
• Sperm morphology (the shape and structure of the sperm)
• Volume and viscosity of semen
• pH and presence of white blood cells or abnormalities

This test evaluates male fertility and is recommended when a couple is facing difficulty in conceiving after consistent efforts.

Who Should Get a Semen Analysis Test?

A semen analysis is useful in a variety of scenarios where male fertility is being evaluated. It is not only diagnostic but also preventive and serves as a follow-up procedure.

• Couples facing fertility issues

  When a couple struggles to conceive for over 12 months, a semen analysis helps understand the male partner’s reproductive health.

• Post-vasectomy confirmation

  To verify if sperm are still present after a vasectomy procedure, a semen analysis is essential.

• Low sperm count or quality suspicion

  If there are lifestyle risks (e.g., smoking, obesity, infections) or a history of testicular trauma, this test can rule out underlying issues.

• Planning for IVF/ICSI

  Before undergoing assisted reproductive treatments like IVF or ICSI, semen analysis determines if sperm quality is sufficient for fertilisation procedures.

How is the Semen Analysis Test Done?

The process of semen analysis is straightforward, requiring only a few steps to ensure an accurate and reliable report.

Pre-test preparation

• Abstain from ejaculation for 2–5 days before the test for optimal sample quality.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before the test.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any recent illness or fever.

Sample collection in clinics

• Most samples are collected through masturbation in a private room at the clinic.
• The entire sample must be collected in a clean, sealed container.

Lab testing

• The sample is analysed under a microscope for sperm count, motility, and morphology.
• Additional parameters such as volume, pH, and viscosity are assessed.
• The lab checks for any signs of infection or abnormal cells.

Report delivery

• The test results are usually available within a few hours of taking the test.
• A fertility specialist will interpret the report and recommend the next steps if any irregularities are found.
