Patient's question:
How many days of abstinence are generally required for a semen analysis? I've been married for two years, and my wife hasn't been pregnant yet. She has been to the hospital for multiple tests, and everything has been normal. With no other options, I plan to have an infertility check-up at the hospital. I'd like to know how many days of abstinence are generally required for a semen analysis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the precautions to note before infertility testing are as follows:1. Abstinence for 3-7 days: There are many things to pay attention to before male infertility testing. To ensure the accuracy of the semen analysis, men should first abstain for 3-5 days before the test, not exceeding 7 days. Abstinence also includes masturbation and nocturnal emissions. Less than 3 days or more than 7 days may affect the accuracy of sperm quality assessment.
