SEMEN ANALYSIS

Semen Analysis Test

The Semen Analysis Test is a specialized laboratory examination used to evaluate male fertility and reproductive health by analyzing the quality and quantity of semen and sperm.

This test examines several critical fertility parameters including:

• Sperm count (number of sperm present)
• Sperm motility (movement ability)
• Sperm morphology (shape and structure)
• Semen volume
• Liquefaction time
• pH level
• Sperm vitality
• Presence of infection or abnormal cells

Semen analysis is one of the most important tests for assessing male infertility and helps doctors identify possible causes of difficulty in conception. It provides valuable insights into sperm production, function, and overall reproductive system health.

The test is commonly recommended for men undergoing infertility evaluation, reproductive planning, or post-vasectomy assessment.
