Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about the precautions to take when testing sperm quality. My wife and I have been married for almost a year now, and we haven't taken any contraceptive measures, but she hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. Could this be related to my sperm? I want to check if there are any issues with my sperm. What are the precautions for testing sperm quality?Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry too much. Men need to stop sexual activity for 4-7 days before collecting semen, and during this period, they should not experience masturbation or nocturnal emissions. Attention should also be paid to daily diet and hygiene, especially maintaining local hygiene. The best time to collect semen is in the morning. Before collection, the glans should be washed. Semen can be extracted through masturbation or sexual intercourse. Deliver the semen to the doctor promptly for examination.
