Advanced Male Fertility Testing for Accurate, Reliable & Fast Results
What Is Semen Analysis?
Semen analysis is the most important and the first-line test used to evaluate male fertility. It examines multiple parameters of a man’s semen and sperm to understand the ability to naturally fertilise an egg.
The test provides detailed information about:
Sperm Count
Sperm Motility (movement)
Sperm Morphology (shape and structure)
Seminal Volume
Liquefaction Time
Sperm Vitality
pH Level
Presence of Infections, Pus Cells, or Abnormal Cells
A single semen analysis can reveal critical information about male reproductive health and detect problems like low sperm count, poor sperm movement, abnormal shape, hormonal disorders, obstruction, varicocele, or infections.
Why Semen Analysis Is Important
Nearly 40–50% of infertility cases involve a male factor. Many men do not have visible symptoms, and issues can be detected only with a semen test.
Semen analysis is important for:
Diagnosing the root cause of infertility
Planning treatment for natural conception
Preparing for IUI, IVF, or ICSI
Monitoring improvement after fertility treatment
Evaluating sperm function before planning pregnancy
Assessing reproductive health after vasectomy or varicocele surgery
At Sparsh Hospital, we ensure high accuracy with standardized WHO testing guidelines and modern andrology equipment.

Parameters We Examine in Semen Analysis
Each semen sample is thoroughly studied for a wide range of factors.
1. Semen Volume
Measures the amount of semen per ejaculation. Low volume may indicate hormonal issues or blockage.
2. Sperm Concentration / Count
Determines how many sperm are present per milliliter. Low sperm count can reduce the chances of natural conception.
3. Total Sperm Count
Shows the total number of sperm ejaculated.
4. Sperm Motility
Evaluates the ability of sperm to move forward and reach the egg.
Progressive motility
Non-progressive motility
Immotile sperm
5. Sperm Morphology
Examines the shape and structure of the sperm head, mid-piece, and tail. Abnormal morphology may affect fertilization.
6. Sperm Vitality
Identifies the percentage of living sperm in the sample.
7. pH Level
Determines if the semen is acidic or alkaline; abnormal pH may indicate infection.
8. Liquefaction Time
Measures how quickly semen becomes liquid after ejaculation.
9. Viscosity
Assesses whether the semen is too thick.
10. Presence of Pus Cells / WBCs
Indicates infection or inflammation.
11. Presence of Antisperm Antibodies
These can affect sperm movement and fertilization.
12. Specialized Tests (If Required)
Sparsh Hospital offers advanced diagnostic tests:
DNA Fragmentation Test
Hypo-Osmotic Swelling Test (HOST)
Sperm Culture & Sensitivity
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Test
Hormonal Evaluation (FSH, LH, Testosterone, Prolactin)
Who Should Undergo a Semen Analysis?
Semen analysis is recommended for:
Couples unable to conceive after 6–12 months
Men with a history of varicocele, infections, or testicular injuries
Men with lifestyle risks (smoking, alcohol, long sitting hours)
Men with erectile dysfunction or reduced libido
Planning for IUI / IVF treatments
After vasectomy to confirm azoospermia
Couples planning a pregnancy after age 35
Recurrent miscarriages (to rule out sperm DNA issues)
How to Prepare for a Semen Analysis
To ensure accurate results, Sparsh Hospital recommends:
1. Abstinence Period
Avoid ejaculation for 2–7 days before giving the sample.
2. Avoid Alcohol & Smoking
These may affect sperm quality.
3. Inform About Medications
Certain medicines (antibiotics, steroids) affect sperm production.
4. Avoid Hot Baths & Saunas
Heat can reduce sperm motility temporarily.
5. Give a Fresh Sample
Semen must be collected in a sterile container provided by the hospital.

You will be guided to a dedicated, hygienic collection room.
Semen is collected via masturbation into a sterile container.
Our staff maintains strict confidentiality and privacy.
Samples collected at home should reach the lab within 30 minutes, kept close to body temperature.
Results are processed using advanced lab techniques.
Understanding Your Semen Analysis Report
Your report will include all WHO-standard values. Common interpretations include:
1. Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia)
May be caused by hormonal imbalance, smoking, infections, varicocele, genetics.
2. Zero Sperm Count (Azoospermia)
Can be obstructive or non-obstructive; further tests are needed.
3. Poor Sperm Motility (Asthenozoospermia)
Reduces the likelihood of sperm reaching the egg.
4. Abnormal Morphology (Teratozoospermia)
Affects fertilization capability.
5. Infection or Pus Cells
Indicates inflammation; antibiotics may be required.
6. High DNA Fragmentation
May cause infertility or repeated miscarriages.
At Sparsh Hospital, our specialists will explain the report in simple terms and recommend the best treatment plan.
