Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what are the items checked in a routine semen analysis? How long does it take to get the results of a semen test? Because it has been a year since I got married, and I don't have any children. I would like to do a related semen test this weekend, but I don't have much time. What are the items checked in a routine semen analysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a standard semen analysis includes several parameters such as semen volume, liquefaction degree of semen, semen viscosity, sperm count, percentage of motile sperm, sperm forward progression ability, and sperm morphology. It should be noted that the time and method of collecting semen can directly affect the results of the semen analysis. Therefore, there should be no sexual activity or masturbation for 3-5 days before the semen analysis.
