Semen Analysis
Semen Analysis Test – An Essential Step to Diagnose Male Infertility
Semen Analysis is a simple yet essential diagnostic procedure for evaluating male fertility issues. It plays a key role in identifying sperm health parameters such as sperm count, motility, morphology, pH levels, and semen volume. If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for over 12 months without success, undergoing a Semen Analysis Test is a crucial step to uncover potential fertility barriers and take informed decisions toward parenthood.
Why Semen Analysis Test is Important for Male Fertility
Semen analysis evaluates male fertility by examining various aspects of sperm health and semen characteristics.
In nearly 50% of infertility cases, male factors contribute to the problem. A Semen Analysis Test provides detailed insights into:
- Sperm Count – It shows the total number of sperms in your semen, showing how many "players" are in the game.
- Sperm Motility – How well your sperm can swim to meet the egg, like tracking their speed and energy.
- Sperm Morphology – Checking if your sperm have the right shape to get the job done.
- Semen Volume – Assessing the amount of semen produced when you ejaculate, which carries the sperm.
- Semen pH Value – It is a measure of how balanced or acidic your semen is for sperm health.
- Liquefaction Time – Analysing How quickly semen turns from thick to liquid, helping sperm move freely.
- Fructose Levels – Examining the energy boost in your semen that keeps sperm active and swimming.
By analyzing these factors, fertility experts can determine whether male infertility is a result of low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal sperm shape, or hormonal imbalances, enabling effective treatment recommendations.
Procedure of Semen Analysis Test in India
At Surrocare Wellness, the Semen Analysis Test follows a simple and comfortable process:
- Consultation with Specialist
A male partner consults with a fertility specialist or gynecologist who recommends the test if necessary. - Semen Collection:
- Option 1: The sample is collected in a sterile container through masturbation in a designated, private room at the clinic.
- Option 2: A semen sample can also be collected at home, but it must be delivered to the lab within 1 hour of collection to ensure accuracy.
- Laboratory Analysis
The semen sample is examined under a microscope to evaluate:- Sperm Count: Measures the concentration of sperm per millilitre of semen to assess fertility potential.
- Motility: Evaluates the percentage of active, moving sperm to determine how efficiently they can swim toward the egg.
- Morphology: Analyzes the percentage of sperm with a normal shape and structure, crucial for successful fertilization.
- Volume, pH, and Other Parameters: Checks semen volume, acidity levels, and other key factors that impact overall sperm health.
- Result Interpretation
Normal semen analysis results typically show:- Volume: 2-5 ml
- Concentration: >20 million sperms/ml
- Motility: >50% actively motile sperms
- Morphology: >30% normal sperm appearance
- White blood cells: <1 million/ml
How Semen Analysis Helps in Male Infertility Treatments
For couples pursuing IVF or IUI, a Semen Analysis Test helps specialists pick the right game plan. If sperm issues like low count or poor motility pop up, treatments like ICSI can boost fertilization chances.
What Semen Analysis Reveals:
- Unexplained Low Sperm Count: When there’s no clear reason behind low numbers.
- Blocked Tubes (Vas Deferens): Physical blockages stopping sperm from flowing.
- Genetic Issues: Conditions like Y-chromosome deletions impacting sperm production.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Problems like low hormone levels that affect fertility.
- Lifestyle Habits: Smoking, drinking, drugs, obesity, or stress taking a toll on sperm health.
By analyzing these factors, fertility experts can determine whether male infertility is a result of low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal sperm shape, or hormonal imbalances, enabling effective treatment recommendations.
