Why is a Semen Analysis Test Important for Checking Male Fertility:

Semen analysis test is very important for men who are facing fertility issues or want to know more about their fertility because it provides vital information about the health and functionality of sperm. This test checks many things about the sperm, such as:

  • Sperm Count: The number of sperm in the semen. A low count can lead to fertility issues.
  • Motility: How well the sperm move. They need to move well to reach and fertilize the egg.
  • Morphology: The size and shape of the sperm.  More normally shaped sperm means better fertility.
  • Volume: The total amount of semen produced. If the volume is low, it might suggest a problem with the glands that produce semen.
  • Other Factors: This includes checking for white blood cells (which might indicate an infection) and the pH level of the semen.
