- Sperm Count: Number of sperm per milliliter of semen.
- Sperm Motility: The ability of sperm to move effectively.
- Sperm Morphology: The shape and structure of sperm.
- Semen Volume: The total amount of semen in the sample.
- pH Levels & Liquefaction: Assessing semen consistency and acidity.
Why is it Done?
- Evaluate male fertility for couples trying to conceive.
- Diagnose sperm abnormalities or reproductive health issues.
- Confirm the success of a vasectomy.
- Investigate causes of low sperm count or poor motility.
Preparation:
- Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before the test.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for better accuracy.
- Provide a semen sample through masturbation or special collection methods.
A Semen Analysis is a crucial test for understanding male reproductive health and planning fertility treatments if needed.
