Patient's question:
Medical Description: Married for half a year without children, went for a routine semen analysis yesterday, the specific results are in the picture. Previous Treatment and Effect: No history of treatment in this regard. Desired Help: I want to know if my condition is serious? What might be the problem?Doctor's answer:
1. Abstain from sexual activity for 3 to 7 days, during which time no ejaculation through masturbation, nocturnal emission, or other means is allowed. No history of fever, sauna, or tub baths within two weeks.2. Collect the semen in the special container provided by the laboratory. Ensure all semen is collected in the cup and nothing is left behind. Then, promptly deliver it to the laboratory for examination. In winter, pay special attention to keeping it warm and place it in a nearby undergarment pocket to deliver it to the lab as soon as possible (within 1 hour).
3. It is best to collect semen through masturbation, with the help of a partner if needed, or using tools such as a massager. If it is still not possible to collect the semen, alternative methods such as interrupted intercourse or withdrawal ejaculation can be used.
4. Condoms should not be used because they kill sperm and make it easy for semen to adhere to the inside. However, for patients without sperm, condoms may be used if necessary, as the presence of sperm remains can help rule out azoospermia (no sperm condition).
