You Want Me to Do What? When It’s Time for a Semen Analysis.

Semen analysis is important for evaluation of infertility. Many men are reluctant or uncomfortable to provide semen for analysis but it’s very important. Looking at the semen analysis that’s done properly in a reproductive lab includes different things such as the sperm count, the volume of semen, the morphology – how the sperm look, and the motility as well, too.

It’s recommended that a semen analysis be done if certain conditions exist, such as inability to get pregnant, health problems that could affect the male reproductive tract; and speaking with your doctor about getting a semen analysis done is very important for future reproductive health.

Men shouldn’t fear having this test done because it can uncover other health conditions that are very important. It can help to support reproductive health even before conception to make sure that the sperm are the best quality that they need to be in order to help a couple conceive.
