About Semen Analysis

A semen analysis, performed by a pathologist in a clinical laboratory, is a fundamental diagnostic test to evaluate male fertility. It involves the microscopic and biochemical examination of a semen sample to assess the health and viability of sperm. The pathologist analyzes key parameters including sperm count (concentration), motility (movement), morphology (shape and size), volume, pH, and liquefaction time. This test is crucial for diagnosing potential causes of infertility, evaluating the success of a vasectomy, or investigating other reproductive health issues. The results provide essential information for urologists and fertility specialists to guide treatment plans and family planning decisions.

PATIENT REVIEW

Myra Gupta, 32, is a software...

Myra Gupta, 32, is a software engineer who has been trying to conceive with her husband for over two years. After a year of unsuccessful attempts, her gynecologist ran initial tests on Myra, which came back normal. The doctor then recommended a semen analysis for her husband as the next logical step in their fertility workup. Myra, feeling a mix of hope and anxiety, helped her husband understand the process. The sample was collected privately at home and delivered to the pathology lab within the hour. The pathologist's report revealed a low sperm count and reduced motility. While the news was difficult, Myra felt a profound sense of clarity and direction. The initial grief and worry transformed into a focused determination. With a clear diagnosis, they were referred to a fertility specialist to discuss options like IUI or IVF, giving them a new path forward and relieving the burden of the unknown.
