Male factor infertility contributes to nearly 50% of couples' difficulty conceiving. A comprehensive Semen Analysis is the first and most important step in diagnosing reproductive issues and guiding treatment decisions.
What Does Semen Analysis Measure?
The test evaluates sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and semen volume. WHO standards define normal ranges for each parameter.
- Sperm count: >15 million/mL
- Motility: >40% moving sperm
- Morphology: >4% normal-shaped
- Volume: >1.5 mL per ejaculation

Improving Sperm Quality
Lifestyle modifications can significantly improve sperm parameters within 2-3 months: maintain healthy weight, avoid smoking/alcohol, manage stress, and consider supplements like zinc, vitamin C, and CoQ10.
"Studies show that targeted lifestyle changes and medical interventions can improve sperm count and motility by 30-50% in just 3 months."
When to Get Tested:
- Trying to conceive for 12+ months
- Planning for future fatherhood
- After vasectomy reversal
- History of testicular issues
