Patient's question:
Hello doctor, because I want to have a child now, my wife insists on going to the hospital for a pre-pregnancy check-up first. I noticed that there is an item for semen in the check-up. I've never had this checked before. I just wanted to ask here first, how long should semen quality be maintained for the test? How should I get the test done? How long does it take to maintain semen quality for the test?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the question of how long semen needs to be kept for sperm quality testing, it should not involve masturbation or nocturnal emissions during this period. Attention should also be paid to diet and daily hygiene, with particular emphasis on maintaining local hygiene. The best time for semen collection is in the morning. Before collection, the glans should be washed. Semen can be extracted through masturbation or sexual intercourse. The semen should be promptly handed over to the doctor for examination. It is recommended to go to a formal infertility hospital for testing to avoid misdiagnosis. The above is the answer to the question of how long semen needs to be kept for sperm quality testing. Wishing you good health.
