What is Semen Testing?

Semen testing is a critical tool for couples facing fertility challenges, particularly when male infertility factors are suspected. This comprehensive evaluation assesses several key aspects of semen, including sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape). By identifying potential issues such as low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shapes, semen analysis provides invaluable insights into male reproductive health. These findings empower couples and their healthcare providers to develop a targeted treatment plan, increasing the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.

How is a Semen Testing Performed?
  • Semen Collection : Collect a semen sample at home or in the clinic. Abstain from ejaculation for 2-3 days prior to the test for accurate results.
  • Sample Preparation : Allow the semen sample to liquefy for 20-30 minutes. Perform a semen wash and prepare a slide for microscopic examination.
  • Microscopic Examination : Assess sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape) under a microscope
