Semen analysis is a test that examines the quantity and quality of a man's sperm. It helps assess male fertility and identify any underlying issues affecting conception. This test provides insights into sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors critical for successful fertilization.

Why is Semen Analysis Important?

Male infertility contributes to nearly 40–50% of all infertility cases. Semen analysis is an essential diagnostic tool for identifying potential issues like:
  • Low sperm count (oligozoospermia)
  • Poor sperm movement (asthenozoospermia)
  • Abnormal sperm shape (teratozoospermia)
  • Azoospermia (absence of sperm)
By diagnosing these conditions, the test helps create a tailored treatment plan for the couple.
 


Parameters Analyzed in Semen Analysis:

  1. Sperm Count
    Measures the number of sperms present in semen. A healthy count is typically above 15 million per millilitre.
  2. Sperm Motility
    Evaluate how well the sperm moves to reach and fertilize the egg. More than 40% of the sperm should have good motility.
  3. Sperm Morphology
    Examines the size and shape of sperm, as abnormalities can reduce fertility potential. At least 4% of sperm should have a normal shape.
  4. Semen Volume and pH
    The volume of semen and its pH level are assessed to determine reproductive health and detect possible blockages.
  5. Liquefaction Time
    Determines how long it takes for semen to liquefy after ejaculation, which can affect sperm's ability to reach the egg.
