Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask how to accurately check the survival rate of sperm. I want to have a test for sperm survival rate or a similar reproductive system test, or a test to check if the reproductive system is normal. Could you please advise what test to do and what it is specifically called? How is the sperm survival rate checked?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.
