How long after the sperm is collected should it be sent for testing?

Patient's question:

I want to extract sperm at home and then send it to the hospital for testing. I would like to ask here, how long after extracting the sperm is it best to send it for testing? What is the most accurate data that can be obtained from this test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the general lifespan of sperm is 24-72 hours, but this is the longest lifespan; many die in the short term, so it must be effective within 5 minutes. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
