There are three types of sperm test extractions; one is the more common method of sperm collection through masturbation, the second is collection using a special condom, and the third is obtaining semen through an automated sperm retrieval device.
1. Sperm extraction by masturbation: abstain from sex for 3-7 days before the examination, and urinate before the sperm extraction to avoid the contamination of urinary tract bacteria affecting the accuracy of the examination results. Sperm is ejaculated into a designated container by masturbation or other means and sent for examination immediately after retrieval.
2. Sperm collection with condom: For those who have difficulty in extracting sperm by masturbation, you can use a special condom to collect semen during intercourse and then send it for testing. Ordinary condoms should not be used during sperm collection. Ordinary latex condoms will affect the survival of sperm and the accuracy of the test results.
3. Sperm extractor: Some hospitals that allow this can also collect semen through an automatic sperm extractor, which can be operated according to the requirements to obtain semen.
People who want to do sperm examination are recommended to go to regular hospitals for examination and sperm retrieval according to the requirements, and if there is any abnormality, it should be treated in time.
