Patient's question:
Doctor, after getting married, my wife has never been able to get pregnant, and I don't know what the reason is. In a few days, we plan to go to the hospital for a check-up. However, I'm afraid I don't know much, and if I do a sperm test, the results might not be accurate. So, I want to ask here in advance how to do a sperm and semen test?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you must stop sexual activity for 3 to 7 days before collecting semen, and you should not have nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. You should also quit smoking and drinking, and avoid taking any medications that may affect sperm production.Guidelines: For a routine semen analysis, it is best to collect the sample in the morning. Before collection, wash your hands, genital area, especially the glans, with warm water. You can stimulate ejaculation using the masturbation method or an electric massage ejaculation method. The entire sample should be collected without leaving any part behind, especially the initial portion. Since the first part of the semen is easily lost, the external ejaculation method should not be used to collect the sample.
