Semen Analysis: Understanding Male Fertility
Semen analysis is a simple and important test to check the health of a man’s sperm and understand how it might affect fertility. If you and your partner are trying to have a baby and facing some challenges, this test can provide valuable insights.
Here’s what happens during a semen analysis:
01. Sperm Count:
This checks how many sperm are in your sample. Having enough sperm is crucial for the chance of pregnancy.
02. Sperm Movement (Motility):
We look at the percentage of sperm that are moving forward. Movement is essential for sperm to reach and fertilize the egg.
03. Sperm Shape (Morphology):
We check the shape and structure of your sperm. Normal-looking sperm are more likely to successfully fertilize an egg.
04. Semen Volume:
This measures how much semen you produce during ejaculation. Having enough volume is important for protecting and transporting sperm.
05. pH Level:
This checks if the acidity or alkalinity of your semen is just right. The ideal balance is needed for sperm to stay healthy.
To take the test, you’ll provide a semen sample. Don’t worry; you can do this through masturbation, and we provide a private space for you.
If your results show anything unusual, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a baby. It just helps us understand better. We might recommend further tests or suggest ways to improve your fertility.
