Sperm analysis is a medical procedure that is performed to evaluate the quality and quantity of a man’s sperm. This procedure is done to determine whether a person has fertility problems or has good reproductive abilities. In sperm analysis, the doctor will evaluate various aspects, such as sperm count/concentration, motility, and morphology.
Several factors can affect the quality of a person’s sperm, such as poor lifestyle habits, exposure to toxins, obesity, stress, and certain diseases. Therefore, if the results of the sperm analysis show any problems, the doctor may recommend some lifestyle changes and appropriate treatment to improve sperm quality and increase the chances of success in the fertilization process. Sperm analysis can also help to estimate the chances of success of intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs.
