Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what are the main tests included in a routine semen analysis? Recently, I have been experiencing frequent masturbation, and I want to get a semen test done. I don't know why I always feel tired, and I don't exercise much either. My friend told me that getting a semen test can check if there are any problems with my body. What are the main tests included in a routine semen analysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the results of a routine semen analysis can be available on the same day. It is recommended to abstain from sexual activity for three days before the test. The examination includes parameters such as total semen volume (milliliters), sperm motility, sperm density (sperm per milliliter), and semen liquefaction time. If abnormalities are detected, timely treatment is necessary. Since the severity of illness and symptoms vary from person to person, treatment plans should also differ. To determine the condition and provide targeted treatment, it is advisable to visit a reputable and professional fertility hospital. The examination should be tailored to your individual circumstances under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health!
