Semen Analysis

🧪 Semen Analysis

Semen Analysis is one of the most important tests in evaluating male fertility. It helps assess the health, quality, and quantity of sperm to determine if the male partner could be contributing to infertility. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, semen analysis is performed with advanced andrology lab technology by experienced specialists to ensure accurate results.

🔬 What is Semen Analysis?

A semen analysis (also called a sperm test) measures several key aspects of semen and sperm health. It helps identify issues such as low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal shape, or other factors that may prevent conception. The test is usually done after 2–5 days of abstinence to get the most accurate sample.

📋 Parameters Checked in Semen Analysis

1. Semen Volume: Measures total amount of ejaculate. Normal range is 1.5–6 mL.
2. Sperm Concentration: Number of sperm per milliliter of semen (normal: ≥15 million/mL).
3. Total Sperm Count: Total sperm in entire ejaculate (normal: ≥39 million per ejaculate).
4. Motility (Movement): Percentage of sperm moving actively or progressively (≥40% motile sperm).
5. Morphology (Shape): Percentage of sperm with normal shape (≥4% normal forms).
6. Vitality: Determines percentage of live sperm in the sample.
7. Liquefaction Time: Time semen takes to become liquid after ejaculation.
8. pH Level: Normal range 7.2–8.0; indicates infection or blockage if abnormal.
9. White Blood Cells: Detects infection or inflammation in reproductive organs.
10. Viscosity & Appearance: Examines texture, color, and consistency of semen.

🧔 Why is Semen Analysis Important?

This test is often the first step in evaluating male infertility. It provides insights into:

Whether sperm production is normal
Whether sperm can move properly toward the egg
Presence of infection, varicocele, or hormonal imbalance
Success chances for treatments like IUI, IVF, or ICSI

⚙️ How is Semen Analysis Done?

1. Sample Collection: Collected via masturbation in a sterile container at the hospital or home.
2. Laboratory Examination: The sample is analyzed within 30–60 minutes for accuracy.
3. Microscopic Evaluation: Sperm are examined for count, motility, and morphology.
4. Advanced Tests (if needed): DNA fragmentation, oxidative stress, or antisperm antibody tests may be done for deeper analysis.

🧬 When Should You Get a Semen Analysis?

Unable to conceive after 6–12 months of regular intercourse
History of undescended testes, infection, or injury
Varicocele or scrotal swelling
Low sperm count or poor motility in previous reports
Before IVF or ICSI treatment
