How to artificially extract sperm?

If a couple can conceive and have children normally, there is usually no need to extract the man's sperm. Only when both husband and wife have difficulty conceiving, in order to find out the cause, in addition to the woman having to undergo multiple physical examinations, medical tests must also be conducted on the man's sperm. At this time, sperm needs to be extracted from the man's body. In addition, when doing in vitro fertilization, sperm must also be extracted artificially. The following introduces the method of artificial sperm extraction.

How to artificially extract sperm?

How to artificially collect semen? There are many methods of artificially collecting semen, such as masturbation, condom method, electric massage method, puncture semen collection, etc., but generally speaking, male masturbation is the most common way to collect semen. In order to ensure the freshness of semen, men need to masturbate in the semen collection room of the hospital, and then hand over the container containing semen to the laboratory staff for inspection.

Before artificial sperm extraction, men should supplement nutrition, relax, get enough rest, and abstain from sex for 3-5 days. It is best to try several times to avoid being unable to extract sperm due to emotional tension during the formal sperm extraction. When extracting sperm artificially, be careful to avoid contact with the sterile and non-toxic inner mouth of the sperm collection cup to ensure the integrity of the sperm. It is worth reminding that it is not recommended to use condoms to extract sperm at home, because condoms have a spermicidal effect, and the semen is easily contaminated during the transportation to the hospital, so it is necessary to go to the hospital to extract sperm to ensure the utilization rate of the semen sample.

How to obtain sperm during artificial insemination

The sperm sources for artificial insemination can be divided into two types: artificial insemination with husband's sperm and artificial insemination with donor sperm, so sperm extraction can also be divided into two situations:

1. If the husband's sperm is to be used, then the husband needs to use masturbation to collect sperm. During this process, the hospital must provide a special sperm collection bottle, which must not be contaminated. After the sperm is collected, it must be sent to the laboratory immediately.

2. If artificial insemination with donor sperm is used, the consent of both husband and wife is required, and then the sperm of the donor is taken from the sperm bank for artificial insemination. This method has ethical issues and should be fully considered beforehand.

Common methods of sperm extraction

1. Masturbation

Most patients need to obtain semen through masturbation. Wash your hands and external genitals with soap beforehand, and then masturbate to discharge the semen into a special sterile cup.

2. Interruption of sexual intercourse

During sexual intercourse, the penis is pulled out just before ejaculation and the semen is discharged into a special sterile cup. This method is generally not recommended because it often loses the first part of the semen discharged, which often has a higher sperm concentration, thus affecting the overall quality of the semen obtained and the results of semen examination.

3. Condom method

Wear a male condom to have sex, and after the semen is discharged, pull out the penis and you can get the semen from the condom. It should be noted that the condom used to collect semen must be specially made, because ordinary condoms contain spermicides that will affect the quality of semen.

4. Electric massage

A small number of patients who have difficulty obtaining semen through masturbation can use electromassage to obtain semen, that is, the doctor inserts a special electric massager into the patient's rectum and stimulates the discharge of semen by massaging the prostate.
