What it looks at
Semen analysis provides information about sperm number, movement and shape. It is one part of an assessment, rather than a stand-alone answer about fertility.
Prepare with the laboratory
Follow the collection and timing instructions provided by your laboratory. Tell the clinical team if collection was incomplete or instructions could not be followed.
Ask about your next step
Arrange a conversation with the clinician who requested the test. Ask whether another sample or a specialist appointment would help clarify the findings.
