At Prarambh IVF, we believe that a successful journey to parenthood begins with an accurate diagnosis. While fertility discussions often focus on the female partner, male factors contribute to nearly 50% of conception challenges. Our Semen Analysis service provides a detailed, clinical evaluation of sperm health, offering the essential data needed to tailor your personalized treatment plan.
A Semen Analysis (or Sperm Count Test) is the most critical diagnostic tool for assessing male fertility. It goes beyond a simple count, evaluating the vitality and functionality of the sperm to ensure they can successfully navigate the reproductive path to fertilization.
As a standard first step for any couple experiencing difficulty conceiving.
Before starting procedures like IUI or IVF to determine the best clinical approach.
To verify the success of a surgical procedure.
For men who wish to understand their reproductive health as part of future family planning.
When standard analysis isn't enough, we delve deeper into molecular sperm health to uncover hidden barriers. At Prarambh IVF, we utilize Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) testing to assess genetic integrity—often the key to resolving unexplained infertility—and Antisperm Antibody (ASA) Testing to identify immune factors that hinder fertilization. These sophisticated diagnostics ensure a comprehensive evaluation for a more precise and effective "Parenthood Path."
Accuracy starts with proper preparation. To ensure a representative sample, our specialists recommend a period of 2 to 5 days of abstinence before your appointment. Our team provides clear instructions on avoiding alcohol and specific medications that could temporarily influence your results.
We understand that this can be a sensitive process. At Prarambh IVF, we provide a private, comfortable, and discreet environment for sample collection. Every measure is taken to ensure your privacy and emotional comfort throughout your visit.
Following collection, your sample is analyzed in our state-of-the-art lab by senior embryologists using WHO-standardized protocols. We perform a microscopic evaluation of Count and Concentration, Motility (movement efficiency), and Morphology (structural integrity for egg penetration). By also assessing Liquefaction and pH, we ensure a comprehensive diagnostic deep-dive that provides the surgical precision needed to define your "Parenthood Path."
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours. You will meet with our fertility experts to review the report in detail. We don’t just give you numbers; we provide a clear, transparent explanation of what those numbers mean for your journey and discuss the next steps in your Parenthood Path.
To ensure the most accurate results, we recommend 2 to 5 days of abstinence from ejaculation. Too short a period can result in a lower sperm count, while too long a period can decrease sperm motility (movement) and increase the presence of older, non-viable sperm. This window allows our specialists to capture a representative snapshot of your peak reproductive health.
At Prarambh IVF, we prioritize timely communication. Once your sample is processed in our state-of-the-art andrology lab, your comprehensive report is typically finalized within 24 to 48 hours. You will then have the opportunity to discuss these findings in detail with our fertility experts.
An abnormal result is not a final diagnosis of infertility. Sperm health can be temporarily affected by stress, illness, or lifestyle factors. Our specialists often suggest a repeat test after several weeks or may recommend advanced solutions—such as lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapy, or assisted techniques like ICSI—to help you achieve your goal of parenthood.
For the highest clinical precision, we strongly recommend collection at our clinic. Sperm quality begins to decline within 30 to 60 minutes of ejaculation, and temperature fluctuations during transport can skew the results. Collecting on-site ensures your sample is analyzed immediately by our embryology team under controlled conditions.
Not necessarily. Male fertility is dynamic and can fluctuate. A single analysis provides a snapshot of one point in time. If the results are suboptimal, we look at the broader clinical picture, including physical exams and hormonal profiles, to determine the best path forward. Many couples successfully conceive with the help of personalized medical guidance and minor lifestyle adjustments.
