The common ways of artificial sperm retrieval are masturbation method, electric massage method, puncture and so on. 1. Masturbation method: This is the most commonly used method for routine semen examination. Men need to obtain semen through masturbation. Before this, hands and genitals should be washed carefully. After masturbation, the semen obtained should be put into a sterile cup provided by the hospital. It should be sent for testing as soon as possible so as not to affect the test results. 2. Electromassage: If some men are unable to obtain semen by masturbation, they can use electro-massage to obtain semen. The doctor will use a special electric massager inserted into the male rectum to massage and stimulate the prostate gland to promote semen discharge. 3. Testicular puncture: If you suffer from vaso-obstructive azoospermia, in which case there is no way to get semen through masturbation and electric massage, you can get sperm by doing a testicular puncture. If you want to have a routine semen test, please visit a regular hospital.
