What Is a Semen Analysis?
The whitish-gray fluid that releases from the penis, typically after an orgasm, is called semen, and it contains fluids, proteins, minerals, and sperm, which are reproductive cells that fertilize an egg cell in a woman’s body to create an embryo. Therefore, a semen analysis is a lab test that examines semen under a microscope to test how much sperm is in the semen, sperm activity, sperm shape, and other important factors.
At Chedid Grieco, our comprehensive semen analysis includes the following for an accurate, informative result:
- Sperm Concentration: The number of sperm per millimeter of semen
- Sperm Volume: The amount of sperm in the sample.
- pH Scale: The levels of acid and bases in your semen, which may indicate sperm health
- Sperm Motility: The sperm’s ability to swim
- Sperm Morphology: The size and shape of the sperm
- Vitality: The percentage of live sperm in the semen sample
- White Blood Cells: White blood cells in the sperm may indicate infection or inflammation
With the results of a semen analysis, we can help you determine if there is a physical, immunological, or genetic condition that affects the sperm’s conditions and interferes with your fertility. Based on our results, our knowledgeable team can help you understand the best options to move forward and achieve your dream of having a child.
What to Expect During a Semen Analysis
If you are having difficulty conceiving a child on your own, you may need a semen analysis to evaluate your sperm’s health. Before the analysis, your healthcare provider will evaluate your medical history and perform a physical and genital exam. They will also order you to avoid engaging in sexual activity, including intercourse and masturbation, for two to seven days to ensure your sperm count is at the highest level. This helps provide the most accurate results possible.
Once you have properly prepared for the semen analysis, our professional team will guide you through the following steps:
- Masturbation: The semen sample is collected through masturbation, which can be done in a private, comfortable room in our facility. Your hands and penis should be clean before masturbation.
- Ejaculation: We will provide you with a wide-mouthed, sterile container to collect your semen sample. It is crucial to ejaculate inside this container and avoid using any material that may interfere with exam results.
- Analysis: After you provide your sample, we will analyze the collected material and run our analysis to test your semen and reproductive capacity.
We begin with a consultation in Miami to discuss your semen analysis. After your first semen analysis, we may need to conduct another one a few days or weeks later to get an even more accurate idea of your semen production. Once we receive the results, we will review them with you and compare them to average values. If we identify any abnormalities, we may order further blood or image testing to learn more.
