What is ROUTINE SPERM ANALYSIS?
A routine sperm analysis, or semen analysis, is a simple, non-invasive test that checks male fertility by examining sperm count, movement, and shape under a microscope. Since male factors contribute to nearly half of all infertility cases, it's done at the start of every infertility assessment. Under WHO 2021 guidelines, a normal sample has at least 16 million sperm per mL, 42% motility, and 4% normal shape. Avoid ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before the test. An abnormal result is usually rechecked after three months. At our IVF Cenre in Jalandhar and IVF Centre in Amritsar, every report is reviewed by a Fertility Specialist Doctor in Punjab.

How to Prepare for a Routine Sperm Analysis?
Good preparation is the key to accurate routine sperm analysis results. Sperm quality can change with abstinence time, lifestyle habits, medications, and even recent illness, so following your doctor's instructions closely helps avoid misleading reports and repeat tests. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 2 to 7 days of abstinence before giving a sample. At Vardaan, your Fertility Specialist Doctor in Punjab gives you clear, personalized instructions before the test.
- Abstain for 2 to 7 Days: Avoid ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before the test for the most reliable sperm count.
- Avoid Alcohol, Smoking, and Drugs: Skip alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drugs for at least 2 to 5 days before the test.
- Discuss All Medications: Tell your doctor about hormone treatments, herbal supplements, and prescribed medicines you take.
- Mention Recent Illness or Fever: A fever or infection in the past 3 months can temporarily lower sperm quality.
- Collect the Sample Correctly: Use the sterile container provided, avoid lubricants, and deliver it within 30 to 60 minutes.
At our IVF Center in Jalandhar and IVF Center in Amritsar, samples are collected in a private, comfortable room and analyzed with accuracy, helping you move faster toward the Best IVF Treatment in Punjab.
Why Is Sperm Analysis Important?
A sperm analysis is the most reliable first test for diagnosing male infertility, which accounts for 40–50% of all infertility cases. It shows whether low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape is making conception difficult, even when the female partner is completely healthy. A very low or zero sperm count can point to a blockage in the reproductive tract, while a semen culture test helps detect infections that affect sperm health. The test is especially important for men with varicocele, mumps orchitis, testicular injury, erectile dysfunction, small or undescended testes, or hormonal imbalances such as low testosterone. It is also used after a vasectomy, as a Post-Vasectomy

How Is Routine Sperm Analysis Conducted?
A routine sperm analysis is a simple, painless test that starts with collecting a fresh semen sample, which is then examined in the lab under a microscope. For the most accurate results, men are advised to avoid ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before the test. At Vardaan, samples are collected in a private, comfortable room and analysed by trained lab experts, with results reviewed by an experienced Fertility Specialist Doctor in Punjab.
Ways to Collect a Semen Sample
Masturbation
The preferred and most reliable method, as it gives a clean, complete sample directly into a sterile container.
Special Collection Condom
A medical-grade, non-spermicidal condom provided by the clinic can be used during intercourse. Regular condoms contain chemicals that damage sperm.
Withdrawal Method
Ejaculating into a container after withdrawal during intercourse is not usually recommended, as part of the sample may be lost or contaminated
Electroejaculation
A gentle electrical stimulation used under medical supervision for men who cannot ejaculate naturally, such as after a spinal cord inju
