How to Prepare

Adhering to these guidelines ensures your results are accurate and meet WHO diagnostic standards.

Abstinence Period

2–5 days of abstinence is recommended (WHO standard: 2–7 days). Too short or too long a window can skew results.

Temperature Control

Avoid high-heat environments like hot baths, saunas, or prolonged fever for at least 48 hours before testing.

Collection Safety

Do not use lubricants or standard condoms during sample production, as these can be spermicidal and affect vitality scores.

*Please inform our clinicians of any current medications or supplements during your appointment.

Who Should Consider Testing?

  • Couples trying to conceive for 6–12 months
  • Before beginning IVF, IUI, or ICSI
  • Following a history of miscarriage
  • History of urological issues or varicocele
  • Exposure to risks: smoking, high heat, or high stress
  • Men over 40 or those seeking a routine health check

DNA Fragmentation: Why Consider It?

Standard analysis checks the "shell" (count/shape), but DNA fragmentation evaluates the genetic cargo inside.

High fragmentation (DFI) can hinder natural conception, reduce ART success rates, and increase pregnancy loss risk. It is the "missing link" for:

  • Unexplained Infertility
  • Recurrent Miscarriage
  • Failed IVF Cycles

How to Read Your Semen Analysis Report

Our reports are written in plain English to help you understand your data. Below is a breakdown of the key parameters we measure:

  • Volume: The total amount of semen produced.
  • Concentration: The number of sperm per millilitre.
  • Total Sperm Number: Total count in the entire sample.
  • Motility: How well sperm move (Progressive is key).
  • Morphology: Percentage of sperm with normal shape.
  • Vitality: Percentage of live sperm in the sample.
  • Hormones: Explains production levels or symptoms.
  • DNA Fragmentation: Level of genetic integrity.

Typical Reference Values (WHO Standards)

Parameter Reference Value
Volume ~1.4 mL
Concentration ~16 million/mL
Total Motility ~42% (Progressive ~30%)
Morphology (Strict) ~4% Normal Forms

Note: Values below these lines do not necessarily indicate infertility. Expert clinical guidance is provided with every report.

Absolutely. All reports are strictly confidential. They are sent securely to you and can be shared with your GP or fertility clinic at your discretion.
If lifestyle factors change or treatment begins, we recommend re-testing after 3 months, which reflects one full spermatogenesis (sperm production) cycle.
