🧪 Semen analysis & sperm quality: the complete lowdown

A semen analysis is one part of fertility assessment, not a verdict on fatherhood.

How does the test actually go down?

  1. 1. What to prepare

    Use the laboratory’s collection and transport instructions, including its requested abstinence period; report collection difficulties or recent illness.

  2. 2. What to check

    Discuss results and any repeat testing with the clinician. Do not diagnose infertility from a single value or use generic thresholds in place of interpretation.

  3. 3. In Singapore

    Licensed assisted-reproduction services are regulated under the Healthcare Services framework. Restricted procedures require a woman legally married to a man and her husband’s consent; do not say every fertility consultation or elective egg-storage service is restricted in the same way. Ask a licensed service about the exact procedure, eligibility and funding.
