Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to inquire about the cost of a routine semen analysis. I want to check the strength of my sperm because now that both of us have stable jobs and lives, we can't resist the pressure from our families to have children. What tests are included in a routine semen analysis? How much does a routine semen analysis cost now?Doctor's answer:
Infertility refers to normal-aged couples who have regular sexual lives after marriage and have not been able to conceive within 1 year or longer without contraception. Among married couples, 15% experience infertility, with 30% of cases being male infertility. The basic conditions for fertility are having normal sexual function and possessing normal sperm capable of fertilizing the egg.Guidelines:
Both partners should abstain from sex for 3 to 5 days before going to the hospital for examinations. The man should undergo a semen analysis, while the woman should have tests for six sexual hormones, basal metabolic rate, ovarian function, and immunological tests. It is recommended that you and your partner undergo a comprehensive and systematic examination at a regular hospital to identify the causes of infertility and receive targeted treatment. The cost is approximately 100 yuan.
