The test bares all the facts regarding the semen and the sperm. It gives a detailed report about the various aspects of the semen and the quality and quantity of sperm along with sperm motility and morphology.
What is Semen Analysis Test?
Semen analysis is required as a part of infertility testing if a man is having trouble in impregnating his partner. The aim is to see if the semen and sperm produced by the male partner are normal or not. A semen analysis is also requested following a vasectomy 3 month after the procedure, to be completely certain that the man is sterile. A complete semen analysis test measures the quantity and quality of the semen during ejaculation. It evaluates both the liquid portion called semen or seminal fluid and the microscopic, moving cells called sperm. The quality of sperm is very important for fertility. Most of the cases of male infertility are a result of either poor quality sperm or a low sperm count or a nil sperm count.
Male fertility is diagnosed through a number of tests, the most important being the semen analysis test. After collection, the semen sample is sent to a laboratory where it is assessed for various factors such as volume of semen, semen count, motility and morphology. Absence or low sperm numbers does not necessarily indicate that a man is absolutely infertile. It could point to a hindrance with the production or delivery of the sperm.

Effects On Conceiving
Infertility problems relating to male factor accounts for approximately 40% of all couples having difficulties conceiving. It is therefore critical that a complete and thorough examination of the male is performed. Due to the fact that the examination of a male is relatively non-invasive, this is often one of the first tests performed in investigating the cause of infertility. The test used to assess male fertility is done via a semen analysis and sperm antibodies; it measures the key parameters of semen known to impact fertility. Laboratories do vary in their ability to provide an accurate semen analysis and as such it is recommended that the test is performed by a fertility scientist with extensive experience in semen evaluation and will follow the guidelines and assessment of the World Health Organization (WHO).
