Know more about this test

Semen analysis test is a procedure of checking the semen for physical appearance as well as microscopy for sperm. This test calculates the count of sperm available and detects any defects in the shape (morphology) and movement (motility) of the sperm. It is easily available at a reasonable cost in Kolkata with Tata 1mg partnered labs.

The test of semen analysis is usually done when a person has been having unprotected sex with his spouse for more than one year without any success. It is also done for routine fertility testing or to confirm that a vasectomy has been effective. The test can also diagnose possible male infertility issues or presumed genetic defects, which contribute to sperm disorder. It is also helpful in identifying conditions such as infection or hormonal imbalance that may hinder sperm production and overall fertility. The test offers useful information about the male reproductive system, which can be used to determine any health issues that could be causing infertility.

To perform the semen analysis, a semen sample is provided by a man in a sterile container. Abstinence from sexual intercourse or masturbation for 2 to 7 days is advised but no longer than two weeks, as prolonged abstinence can lead to less active sperm. The patient is advised to urinate, wash the genital area with warm water, and dry the area prior to sample collection.

Understanding Semen Analysis at Center

Semen is a whitish-gray fluid made by the male reproductive organs, in particular the testicles, and released during ejaculation. It consists of sperm cells that are needed to fertilize an egg and achieve pregnancy. Semen also contains nutrients and protective substances that sustain the sperm and help them traverse the female reproductive system.

The semen analysis test is a laboratory test tailored to assess the quality and quantity of sperm in a sample of semen. It provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of sperm count, motility and morphology, along with volume and pH. These analyses can help diagnose male fertility and provide information about problems such as low sperm count (with pathological nomenclature asthenozoospermia), whether there was low motility (asthenozoospermia) or an issue with the sperm shape (teratozoospermia), which may affect a man's ability to conceive.

The semen analysis test is used to be performed if someone has been trying to conceive with a partner for more than 1 year, without successful conception. It can also be done as part of infertility assessments or to verify the success rate of vasectomy. This test can also assess if someone has a male fertility problem, as well as genetic issues impacting the sperm health. Additionally, it is useful in diagnosing conditions like infections or hormonal imbalances that can impair sperm production and overall fertility.

To conduct the semen analysis, a man provides a semen sample in a sterile container. It’s recommended to abstain from sexual activity or masturbation for 2 to 7 days before the test, but not for more than two weeks, as longer abstinence can result in less active sperm. Before the sample collection, the patient should urinate, wash the genital area with warm water, and dry the area. Additionally, it’s advised to limit alcohol intake before the test. It is also important to inform the doctor about any medications or herbal supplements being taken, as they can affect the results of the semen analysis.

Test result ranges may vary across different laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation. Therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results. Always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results. 

Note: This test is not offered for Home Collection. Please visit our partnered labs to get tested.
