The Semen Analysis test is a laboratory examination of semen used to evaluate male fertility. It assesses several important parameters including sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), volume, pH, and the presence of infections or abnormal cells.
This test helps determine the ability of sperm to fertilize an egg and is commonly used in the evaluation of infertility in men. Abnormal results may indicate issues such as low sperm count, poor motility, or structural abnormalities.
Semen analysis is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for infertility or after procedures like vasectomy.
