Semen Analysis​

Semen analysis is a diagnostic test used to evaluate male fertility by examining the quality and quantity of semen and sperm. It is one of the most important initial investigations for couples facing difficulty in conceiving, as male factors contribute significantly to infertility cases. The test provides valuable insights into sperm health and reproductive potential.

The analysis is performed on a semen sample collected through a simple and non-invasive process. The sample is then examined in a laboratory to assess various parameters such as sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), volume, and overall semen quality. These factors play a crucial role in determining the ability of sperm to fertilize an egg.

Key aspects of semen analysis include:

• Evaluation of sperm count and concentration
• Assessment of sperm motility and movement
• Examination of sperm morphology (shape and structure)
• Measurement of semen volume and consistency
• Detection of infections or abnormalities
• Identification of potential causes of male infertility
