Semen Analysis

Introduction

Introduction to Semen Analysis

Male infertility is a little-discussed problem facing many men who are trying to start a family. At Neway Fertility, we understand how uncomfortable it can be to open up and talk about this distressing condition. The good news is that there are solutions to male infertility, and we can help most couples achieve their dream of building a family. This help begins with semen analysis.

Sperm Health

Also known as a sperm count test, semen analysis measures not only sperm production but also analyzes the health and viability of your sperm. The semen is the fluid in which the sperm are contained. This fluid also contains sugar and protein substances. Semen analysis measures the number of sperm contained in an ejaculation. The shape of the sperm and sperm motility, or the movement of sperm, are also measured.

Analysis often requires two or three samples to assess sperm health accurately. Each test is conducted over a period of time, with at least a full week between tests. Sperm count can vary from day to day, so an average count taken over time offers a more conclusive result.

There are certain protocols that should be followed to ensure an accurate analysis. Following your doctor’s instructions will provide the most accurate results. Things to keep in mind to get the best sample include:

  • Avoid ejaculation for 24 to 72 hours before the test.
  • Alcohol, caffeine, and drugs (cocaine and marijuana) should be avoided for 2-5 days before testing.
  • Be sure to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently taking, especially herbal remedies and hormone therapies.
  • Suspend herbal medications as per your doctor’s orders.
  • Suspend hormone medications as per your doctor’s orders.
  • In order to get the best sample, the semen should be kept at body temperature and delivered within 30-60 minutes of leaving the body. At Neway Fertility, we collect semen samples and analyze them onsite.

After the analysis is complete, your doctor will discuss the results with you and make recommendations for moving forward. At Neway Fertility, we are dedicated to helping couples achieve their family-building goals. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our fertility specialists.

Patient Reviews

  • Dr. Wang is truly amazing

    Dr. Wang is truly amazing. He is the most compassionate, patient, and understanding doctor I have ever encountered. He takes the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Compared to my consult at NYU, the experience at Neway was completely different. I felt at ease, never rushed, and always cared for. One of the best things about this clinic is how efficient they are, there is no waiting during appointments, and you get seen very quickly, which makes the whole process even smoother. If you are looking for a fertility clinic where you will feel supported and genuinely cared for, I highly recommend Dr. Wang, Dr. Lee, and the entire team at Neway.

  • Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country

    Dr. Wang’s care is unmatched. He personally performs every scan, retrieval, and transfer, and his gentle touch made my recovery seamless compared to past experiences. His nurse, Cecilia, and the rest of the team are equally incredible—organized, supportive, and attentive to every detail. If you’re searching for a doctor who truly cares, offers personalized protocols, and provides VIP care—especially if you’re older or have endometriosis—Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country. He made my dream of becoming a mom a reality, and I will forever be grateful for him!

  • He is an incredible doctor!

    I had tried 3 other clinics before finding Neway through a recommendation in a Facebook group. As soon as I met Dr. Wang my whole experience with infertility changed. I felt respected and taken care of which was far from my experience at other clinics. Dr. Wang is so friendly and compassionate, answers every email within depth explanations and personally sees you at every appointment. He is open to your input at every step of the way. He is an incredible doctor! I am so happy I found him. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

    Dr. Wang and his staff are just amazing! I received very good care at this clinic. They are very prompt and everything always runs on time. Specifically, Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable and takes a step-by-step approach based on your specific case rather than follow a cookie cutter approach!

  • I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway

    IVF is not a journey anyone wants to take. It is a roller coaster of emotions that is only made easier with a wonderful support system. We found that at Neway – with Dr. Zimmerman and the entire nursing team. Ours wasn’t an immediate success story – it took multiple cycles to become pregnant. But I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone on this journey.
