Report & counselling
You receive a clear report showing each parameter against normal ranges, and the doctor explains what it means.
What does a semen analysis report show?
- Sperm count (concentration), number of sperm per millilitre of semen
- Motility, percentage of sperm that are moving, and how well they move forward
- Morphology, percentage of normally shaped sperm
- Volume, total amount of semen produced
- pH, acidity / alkalinity of the semen
- White blood cells, may indicate infection or inflammation
How to prepare for the test
- Abstain from ejaculation for 2 to 5 days before the test
- Avoid alcohol, smoking and recreational drugs for a few days before
- Inform the doctor about any medicines you are taking
- Collect the full sample, the first part contains the most sperm
An abnormal result is not a final verdict. Sperm counts vary, so a repeat test after a few weeks is often advised before deciding on treatment.
