Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about the precautions for testing sperm viability. I have been married for four years, but my wife hasn't become pregnant yet. Her check-up results are normal, so I want to get a sperm test to see if there is an issue with me. How is the sperm viability test conducted, and what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Hello, checking sperm viability requires a semen analysis. Low sperm viability directly affects fertility and needs to be taken seriously with timely treatment.Precautions for Semen Analysis:
You need to go to the urology department of a regular, large hospital in your area for the test. Generally, you should abstain from sex for 7 days before going to the hospital. Sperm is collected through masturbation for analysis, and a viability rate of over 60% is usually required for pregnancy.
Before the test, avoid alcohol and spicy, stimulating foods.
In your daily life, it’s important to focus on sperm health. Eating foods high in protein can help improve sperm health and boost the immune system.
Wishing you good health.
