Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask how many days of abstinence are required for a routine semen analysis? I have abstained for one day. Can I go to the hospital to do a routine semen analysis now? If the time is not enough, how many more days are needed? My wife has been trying to get pregnant for a long time, and I am now eager to go to the hospital for a check-up. How many days of abstinence are required for a routine semen analysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your abstinence days are not enough, and you still need to abstain for three more days to undergo the examination. A short period of abstinence can lead to misdiagnosis. Mistreatment can occur.A routine semen analysis for men takes about three to four hours to get results, while semen analysis results are usually available within an hour. Men should abstain for five to seven days before the examination. Semen is an important part of life. If there is a problem, it may prevent women from getting pregnant. It is recommended that you promptly go to a formal infertility and subfertility specialty hospital for treatment, follow the doctor's advice, actively cooperate with the treatment, and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Wishing you good luck.
