Semen test is a laboratory evaluation of a semen sample to measure sperm concentration, motility, and morphology. It is often used in fertility assessments for men, providing critical information about sperm health and potential fertility issues. This test helps determine if male infertility could be contributing to difficulty conceiving.

The semen test is recommended for individuals or couples experiencing fertility problems. It provides insight into the male partner’s reproductive health by evaluating sperm count, quality, and ability to swim effectively. It can also be used to assess sperm function after treatments like sperm retrieval or vasectomy.

• Men experiencing difficulty conceiving, often recommended when a couple has been unable to conceive after a year of trying.
• Men undergoing fertility treatments, such as sperm donation or assisted reproductive technologies.
• Men planning for vasectomy or post-vasectomy evaluation to assess sperm presence.
• Men who have been exposed to factors that may affect sperm quality, such as high heat, toxins, or certain medications.

The semen test is typically performed by collecting a semen sample through masturbation, which is then analyzed for sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape). Results are compared against established normal ranges, and if abnormalities are detected, further investigations may be needed to understand the underlying causes.
