Semen Analysis: How It is Done?

How semen analysis is done? It is very simple! Just produce a semen sample and ejaculate it into a clean sample cup. Well, you can do this in a private room or in a bathroom at the doctor’s clinic.

You may collect your semen sample at home during sexual intercourse, if you live close to the doctor’s clinic. Or you can collect during sex by using a condom. But be sure to wash the condom thoroughly before using it to remove powder or lubricant on it that might kill the sperm. However if you live far from the doctor’s clinic, you may collect your semen sample by masturbation and directly ejaculate into a clean sample cup.

Remember that the sample must be received at the laboratory within 1 hour. Keep the sample away from direct sunlight and never keep it cold or hot. Never refrigerate the semen sample.
