A Semen Analysis Test is a diagnostic procedure used to determine male fertility. While it doesn’t provide a complete fertility assessment, it’s an initial step in evaluating male reproductive health. Additionally, if a vasectomy has been performed the this test can determine its success by counting the remaining sperm in semen. It’s a non-invasive procedure with no known side effects.

A good sperm sample (typically known as a semen sample) should be at least 1.5 millilitres (ml) or half a teaspoon. A good sample is also one that has a sperm count between 15 million to 200 million per ml of semen, a pH value between 7.2 and 7.8, and has more than 50% of active sperm cells.

Sperm Concentration: This measures the number of sperm per milliliter (mL) of semen. A normal range typically falls between 15-200 million sperm per mL.
Sperm Motility: It indicates the percentage of sperm that are moving. Healthy sperm should exhibit progressive motility, which means they move forward. Typically, at least 40% should have this type of motility.
Sperm Morphology: This parameter assesses the shape and structure of sperm. Normally, about 4% or more of sperm should have a typical, healthy appearance.
Sperm Volume: This measures the total volume of semen produced, usually around 1.5 to 5 milliliters per ejaculation.
Chemical Makeup: This assesses the pH level and the presence of substances like white blood cells, which can indicate infection.
Liquefaction Time: After ejaculation, semen usually becomes more liquid over time. Normal liquefaction occurs within 20-30 minutes.
Fructose Level: This evaluates the presence of fructose in semen, which is an energy source for sperm. A low fructose level might indicate a problem with seminal vesicles.
Understanding these parameters helps determine male fertility. If any values fall outside the normal range, it’s advisable to consult a urologist or fertility specialist for a more detailed evaluation and appropriate guidance regarding potential treatments or interventions.

What does the Semen Analysis Test Measure ?
A semen analysis test is a lab test done at Maurya Labs that is used to evaluate the sperm count, morphology, viability, and motility of sperm.
Why should I do the Semen Analysis Test at Maurya Labs ?
If you and your partner are experiencing difficulties conceiving, your doctor may recommend a Semen Analysis Test. While infertility can be a concern for either partner, it's commonly observed that male infertility plays a significant role. Therefore, a Semen Analysis Test is a diagnostic tool used to assess male fertility. At Maurya Labs we perform Semen Analysis using highest standards and best practices. In case required the patient can opt for Sperm Fragmentation test for detailed analysis, which is done only at Maurya Labs.
How is the Semen Analysis Test Done at Maurya Labs ?
During a Semen Analysis Test, the pathologist at Maurya Labs looks at your semen sample under a microscope to identify the number of sperm cells in it. The pathologist also looks at the level of movement of each sperm cell (motility), its shape, the level of acidity (pH levels) and the time it takes for your semen sample to liquify.
Before taking the semen analysis test, it is recommended that you abstain from intercourse and masturbation for 2 to 5 days. However, it's important not to extend this period of sexual inactivity for more than 2 weeks. Additionally, it's advisable to avoid consuming alcohol, anabolic steroids, marijuana, and opiates before providing a semen sample. This will help ensure accurate test results.
What are the indications of an abnormal semen sample ?
Indicators of an abnormal semen analysis report include low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, low semen volume, pH level deviations, white blood cell presence, absent seminal fructose, high round cell count, sperm agglutination, high DNA fragmentation, and azoospermia. Abnormal results may indicate fertility issues or underlying health concerns
