How to do a routine semen analysis

Routine semen analysis is done by collecting semen through self-masturbation or by receiving a prostate massage and sending it to a laboratory for testing. Routine semen analysis tests the quantity and quality of sperm in male semen and is one of the tests for male infertility. Before the test, the patient needs to go to the outpatient clinic, the doctor will issue a test order, the patient collects his own semen sample, injects it into a clean sample cup, and sends it to the laboratory for the test, and the result will usually be available on the same day. In the week before the test, patients should avoid drinking alcohol and staying up late. Abstinence is required for 3 to 5 days before the test, and do not masturbate, etc. Since semen samples vary from day to day, the test can be performed 2 to 3 times in 3 months, which will help to obtain accurate test results.
