How much does it cost to check sperm quality?

Sperm testing is the most basic way to check a man's fertility. The sperm collection procedure is very important and must be strictly followed in accordance with the regulations. Only then will the test results be accurate and reasonable. Under normal circumstances, it does not cost much to do a sperm quality test, because each hospital outpatient clinic uses different testing instruments and equipment, and the cost is also different. So how much does it cost to check the quality of sperm?

1. There are two ways for men to check the quality of sperm: one is a very simple test method, which costs about 25 yuan and takes 2 hours to get the result. The other is a very complicated test method, which costs about 120 yuan and takes 10 minutes to get the result. It is recommended that everyone do a simple test method to make a basic judgment. It is recommended that male patients should abstain from sex for 5-7 days before checking sperm, and the first drop of semen must be collected as a sample, so that the test result is reasonable. Simple test methods include semen pH value, sperm survival rate, percentage of sperm forward movement, sperm vaporization time, and semen volume, based on which a basic judgment can be made. If there is an abnormality, a complicated test method can be done to find the best treatment plan.

2. If you want to test the sperm survival rate, the cost varies according to the hospital, usually around 100-200 yuan. For sperm testing, you need to abstain from sex for 3 to 7 days before the test. During this period, it is best not to drink soft drinks, smoke, or drink alcohol, and not to eat spicy or cold foods. The results will generally be available in two or three days.

3. Note: Abstinence should be observed for 3-7 days before the test. If the abstinence period is too short, the sperm density and sperm count will be insufficient; if the period is too long, the sperm motility will decrease, affecting the accuracy of the test. Avoid periods of poor health, such as colds, fever, or drinking a lot. Because oligospermia or necrospermia may occur at this time, it will also affect the accuracy of the test. When sperm is sampled, it is best to collect it on the spot at the hospital outpatient clinic. Generally, the sample is collected by masturbation in the sperm testing room or the outpatient toilet of the hospital. After sampling, it is re-examined immediately to prevent the semen paraffin section from being too long or being contaminated by the environment halfway.
