Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask how many days of abstinence are required for a routine semen analysis? I have abstained for one day. Can I go to the hospital for a routine semen test now? If the time is not enough, how many more days do I need to wait? My wife has been trying to get pregnant for a long time, and I am now eager to go to the hospital for a check-up. How many days of abstinence are required for a routine semen analysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your abstinence days are not enough, and you still need to abstain for three more days to undergo the examination. A short period of abstinence can lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment.A routine semen analysis for men takes about three to four hours to get results, while semen analysis results are usually available within an hour. Men should abstain 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, cooperate actively with the treatment, and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Wishing you good luck with your pregnancy.
