Best time for male sperm test

Many men also need to do sperm tests while doing certain tests. Persistence in checking can also be used to judge some male diseases. In addition, if you want to know the fertility of men, you can also do sperm tests. But what needs to be paid attention to is the time to check sperm. There are many things to pay attention to before checking sperm, such as abstinence. So what is the best time for male sperm check?

1. If semen is collected for examination, it is best not to ejaculate within 5 days before the examination. Generally, semen can be collected through masturbation or during sexual intercourse using a special condom. After the semen is collected, it should be placed in a dry, clean bottle and sent for inspection immediately. In order to identify male fertility, doctors often ask men to do a semen test. Normal semen color is off-white or milky white. If the abstinence time is long, it may appear light yellow. If it appears bright red or dark red, it indicates that the patient has inflammation or reproductive tract damage. The amount of semen ejaculated each time is 2 to 6 ml, which is often affected by the number and frequency of semen ejaculation. Fresh semen is thick and jelly-like and should be liquefied into a thin liquid within 1 hour. Use a small glass rod to insert into the semen and lift it up. The length of the semen strands formed generally does not exceed 2 cm, otherwise it is considered abnormal.

2. The reason why semen examination requires a period of abstinence is to prevent excessive sexual intercourse from reducing the concentration of semen and affecting the authenticity of the examination results. Don’t worry, a few more or less days will not have any substantial impact on the inspection. Generally, men need to abstain from sexual intercourse for 4-7 days when checking their semen. The man needs to have his semen analyzed and tested for anti-sperm antibodies. He should not have sex within 7 days before the test. The best time to collect semen is in the morning. Before collecting semen, wash your hands, vagina, and especially the glans with warm water.

3. Long-term non-ejaculation often has high sperm density, many dead sperm, and poor sperm mobility. This situation is normal, so it is advisable to abstain from sex for five to seven days before checking semen. The semen taken out should be avoided from being exposed to too low or too high temperatures, and it is best to send it to the laboratory for examination within 1 to 2 hours. Routine blood tests usually take more than an hour to produce results. Men need to avoid ejaculation 2 to 7 days before semen examination and use masturbation to obtain semen. When collecting semen, it is best to use wide-mouth glass bottles or plastic bottles that have no toxic side effects on sperm. Send semen for examination immediately after ejaculation, and the longest time should not exceed 1 hour.
