What Is a Semen Analysis?

A semen analysis is a laboratory test that evaluates male fertility.

It measures:

  • Sperm count
  • Sperm motility (movement)
  • Sperm morphology (shape)
  • Semen volume
  • pH
  • Vitality

It is the first-line investigation for male fertility.

Why Do You Need a Sperm Test?

You may need a sperm test if:

  • You have been trying for 6–12 months without success
  • Your partner has experienced miscarriage
  • You are planning IVF or ICSI
  • You want reassurance before delaying parenthood
  • You have had vasectomy reversal
  • You have testicular pain or history of infection

Early testing prevents unnecessary delay.

What Does a Sperm Count Test Measure?

A sperm count test measures the number of sperm per millilitre of semen.

According to recognised laboratory standards:

  • Normal concentration: 15 million per mL or higher
  • Total count: 39 million per sample or higher

However, fertility is not only about count. Movement and structure also matter.

Semen Analysis Normal Values

While individual interpretation is essential, general reference ranges include:

  • Volume: ≥1.4 mL
  • Concentration: ≥15 million/mL
  • Total motility: ≥40%
  • Progressive motility: ≥32%
  • Normal morphology: ≥4%

Interpretation should always consider clinical context.

How Is a Semen Test Performed?

The process is simple:

  1. Provide a semen sample in a private room.
  2. The sample is analysed in our laboratory.
  3. Results are reviewed and reported.
  4. Optional consultation discusses next steps.

We also offer advanced testing where required.

£120 – £250 depending on clinic and reporting level.

Advanced tests such as DNA fragmentation cost more. At MDC, we provide transparent pricing and structured reporting.
