Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about how to check the sperm survival rate. My friend got married last year and still hasn't had children. I heard that if a man's sperm has problems, it can cause male infertility. I want to ask on behalf of my friend about the tests for infertility, specifically how to check the sperm survival rate.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 local reputable large hospital for the test. Generally, you should abstain from sex for 7 days before going to the hospital. Sperm is collected through masturbation for the test, 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, you should also focus on sperm health. Eating foods high in protein can help improve sperm health and boost the immune system.
Wishing you good health.
