Patient's question:
Pre-cycle check-up before IVF. The doctor asked me to go for a detailed sperm check-up tomorrow, but I had nocturnal emission during my nap at noon today. Is it still okay to go for the sperm check-up tomorrow? Will the results still be accurate?Doctor's answer:
This can interfere with the results of sperm quality testing. One day before a semen analysis, it is necessary to avoid sexual activity and ejaculation, among other things. Generally, it is recommended to refrain from ejaculation for 3 to 5 days, but not less than one week, otherwise the sperm count or sperm motility may increase. Therefore, do not conduct a thorough examination on the third day after ejaculation. Ejaculation can be recovered, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
