Routine semen examination, remember these things to ensure high accuracy!

When diagnosing male infertility, a routine semen test is often used. The various indicators of semen are tested, such as the smell, color, liquefaction time, etc., to determine whether a man suffers from infertility. So, what should men pay attention to when doing a routine semen test?

1. Collection preparation:

Collection of semen samples For semen testing, the subject is first required to collect his own semen. Whether the semen sample is collected correctly can affect the accuracy of the test results.

2. Collection time:

When collecting semen, the subject is required to abstain from sex for 3-5 days. If the time is too short or too long, it will affect the test results.

3. Collection method:

Collect all semen through masturbation or extracorporeal ejaculation in a clean container, store it in an environment close to body temperature (such as under underwear), and send it to the laboratory for examination as soon as possible, no later than 1 hour.
