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 has not been pregnant yet. She has been to the hospital for tests multiple times, and all the results were normal. At a loss, I decided 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 be able to have the examination. A too short period of abstinence may lead to misdiagnosis. It may cause incorrect treatment.A routine semen analysis for men usually takes about three to four hours to get the results, and semen analysis takes about one hour. Men should abstain for five to seven days before the examination. Semen is an important part of life. If there is a problem, it may prevent women from getting pregnant. It is recommended that you go to a formal infertility and subfertility specialty hospital for treatment in a timely manner. Follow the doctor's advice, cooperate actively with the doctor's treatment, and avoid missing the best treatment opportunity. Wish you good luck.
