Semen Analysis
Semen analysis is a fundamental test for understanding your reproductive health as a man. Evaluating sperm count, motility, and morphology provides actionable insight into your fertility potential and overall reproductive fitness.
What It Measures
This test evaluates the quality and quantity of sperm in a semen sample. Key parameters include sperm concentration, motility (movement), morphology (shape), total volume, and other characteristics that indicate fertility potential.
Why It Matters
Understanding your semen parameters is a proactive step in managing your reproductive health. Whether you are planning a family now or in the future, a semen analysis gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what steps you can take to optimise your fertility.
When to Test
A semen analysis is typically recommended when a couple has been trying to conceive for over a year without success, or when a healthcare professional wants to evaluate male reproductive health. It may also be performed before or after a vasectomy.
