How is semen checked?

Patient's question:

It's almost half a year since we got married, and my wife hasn't gotten pregnant yet. I heard that if there are problems with male sperm, it can cause female infertility, so I plan to go to the hospital for an infertility check-up. How is the semen test done?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the factors that can cause abnormal sperm and lead to infertility include: prostatitis, blocked vas deferens, reproductive organ infections, abnormal semen, testicular abnormalities, etc. Generally, a semen analysis includes tests for: semen volume, color, viscosity and liquefaction, sperm motility, sperm count, sperm morphology, semen cells, semen pH, fertility index, and sperm function. It is recommended to undergo testing to determine the cause and receive treatment.
