Discover your capacity to become a parent with a semen analysis

Fertility is a topic that concerns many couples who wish to conceive a child. If you have come this far, it is probably because you have doubts about how male fertility tests work, especially the semen analysis. Don’t worry! In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about the semen analysis and how to interpret its results.

The semen analysis is a medical test that evaluates the quality of a man’s semen. This test is essential in diagnosing male fertility problems. Semen is a mixture of sperm and seminal fluid that is expelled during ejaculation. The semen is analyzed in the laboratory, and the quantity of sperm, the quality of the sperm, and the mobility of the spermatozoa are measured.

If your doctor has recommended that you have a semen analysis, it is important to know that you should abstain from having sex and masturbating for 2 to 7 days before the test. You should also avoid alcohol and drugs, as well as tight underwear and saunas, as these factors can alter the test results.

It is important to note that the semen analysis is not a test that is performed only once. Generally, it is recommended to repeat the test at least once more to confirm the results.

As for the results of the semen analysis, these are interpreted based on the reference values established by the World Health Organization (WHO). The parameters that are evaluated are:

  • The concentration of sperm per milliliter of semen
  • The motility of the sperm
  • The morphology of the sperm
  • The volume of semen

 

In general, a man is considered to have fertility problems if:

  • His sperm concentration is less than 15 million per milliliter of semen
  •  If the motility of the sperm is less than 32%
  •  Or if the morphology of the sperm is less than 4%.

 

It is important to mention that an abnormal result in the semen analysis does not necessarily mean that the man is infertile. There are many factors that can influence the test results, such as stress, diet, and medications being taken. If your results are abnormal, it is important to consult with your doctor for guidance on the next steps to take.seminograma
