Semen analysis

Sperm

Male fertility test; Sperm count

There are no risks.

Approximately half of couples unable to have children have a male infertility problem. One of the first tests done to evaluate a man's fertility is the semen analysis.

There are many unknowns in male infertility. The results from the test may fail to explain the cause. If a low sperm count or abnormal semen is found, further testing may be required.
