Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am planning to have a child. Could you please tell me the best time for a sperm test? I checked the answers online, some say that male semen tests should be done 2-7 days after intercourse, while others say to abstain from sex for 3-5 days before the test. Please advise on the optimal test time. Thank you. What is the best time for a sperm test?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for a routine semen analysis, you can undergo the test if you haven't ejaculated for 2-7 days. Additionally, before the test, you should abstain from smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid taking medications that may affect sperm production. For your health, if you have infertility or sterility issues, please seek timely treatment at a formal and professional technology-based rapid pregnancy hospital. It is mainly important to conduct a targeted examination based on your individual circumstances, and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health.
