Patient's question:
I will go to the hospital in a couple of days for a check-up. The doctor asked me to do a semen analysis. How is the semen sample collected for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Before collecting semen, sexual activity must be stopped for 2 to 7 days, and there should be no sexual intercourse, nocturnal emissions, or similar situations. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided, and medications that affect sperm production should be taken with caution. For infertility patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
