What are the precautions for checking semen and seminal fluid?

Patient's question:

What are the precautions for semen and seminal fluid tests? I have been married to my wife for several years, but we have never used contraception together, and my wife has not become pregnant. I suspect I may have infertility, so at my friend's suggestion, I decided to have a semen test. I specifically want to know what precautions are there for semen tests.

Doctor's answer:

Before the sperm test, you should abstain from sex for 7-10 days, and avoid smoking and drinking before the test to prevent affecting the results. Additionally, you need to go to a local regular hospital to register with the urology department for men. It is recommended that men should pay attention to sperm health care in daily life, supplement more zinc, selenium, and protein, and exercise more.
