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.
