Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask how many days of abstinence are required before a semen and sperm test? We have been married for two years, but my wife's abdomen has not shown any signs of pregnancy. She has been to the hospital for tests multiple times, and all the results were normal. Out of desperation, I plan to have an infertility test at the hospital. I would like to know how many days of abstinence are needed before the semen test?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your abstinence days are not enough yet. You still need to abstain for three more days to undergo the examination. A short period of abstinence can lead to misdiagnosis and result in incorrect treatment.A routine semen analysis for men typically takes about three to four hours to get results, while semen analysis results are usually available within an hour. Men are advised to abstain from ejaculation for five to seven days before the examination. Semen is an important part of life, and if there are issues, it can prevent women from conceiving. It is recommended that you promptly visit a formal infertility and subfertility specialty hospital for treatment. Follow the doctor's advice, actively cooperate with the treatment, and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Wishing you good luck with your pregnancy.
