Research Notes on Semen Analysis
A semen analysis is a test performed to check the quality and quantity of a man's sperm and semen.1 It can be used as a test for male infertility and to help diagnose Klinefelter's syndrome.2 In addition, a semen analysis is routinely ordered about six weeks after a vasectomy procedure to ensure the success of the surgery.3
Fast Facts:
- Factors typically evaluated in a semen analysis include: sperm count, motility, morphology, ejaculate volume and pH level, and the time it takes the semen to liquify.4
- A normal sperm count varies from 20 million to 150 million per milliliter.5
- The test is usually performed at a lab or physician's office. The sample can be collected at home, providing it can be transported to the laboratory within two hours.6
