Are you one of those people who are trying hard to have babies but unfortunately you are unable to hear the one good news that your ears have long-awaited? Well, not to worry anymore, this might help you inopening your eyes and make the right decision that can change your life forever.

Nearly 1 in 7 couples in India struggle with infertility. In up to half of these couples, male infertility plays at least a partial role. That is why the best IVF clinic in delhi encourage semen analysis in male infertility treatment along with various other tests and treatments. 

What is Semen Analysis?

In simple terms, we can say that semen analysis is a sperm count test wherein semen is the fluid containing sperm, other sugar and protein substances that is released during ejaculation and its analysis helps to measure factors of sperm health like the number, shape and movement of the sperm.

Semen analysis not only helps to determine male infertility but also for vasectomy success. In a vasectomy, the tubes that send sperm from the testicles are cut for birth control. To ensure its success, doctors often recommend a semen analysis only.

 Why Semen Analysis?

With help of semen analysis, we can identify and evaluate the following : 

•     Volume –  It’s important for men to know their sperm volume levels. A study published in the journal Clinical Andrology reports that sperm quality is the single most important factor for men seeking to become fathers. This blog looks at what can affect sperm volume levels, the different methods to measure these levels, what are considered normal levels and how men can improve their sperm volume levels, if they are subnormal.

•     Total sperm count – This topic is one that many of us prefer to ignore. It doesn’t come up at the dinner table and we don’t talk about it with our mates. But the truth is that a low total sperm count can have a significant impact on a man’s mental and physical health. WHO considers a sperm count of 15 million/ml or above to be adequate. Lower numbers may indicate that the testicles are not producing sperm the way they should, indicating Oligozoospermia, a sign of male infertility. If you’re a man with a lower sperm count, you may want to try a natural treatment for male infertility.
•     Motility – Sperm motility is one of the most important factors when it comes to sperm quality. Poor sperm motility will affect the fertility of a man. The sperm motility measures the number of moving sperms as well as classifies them according to their movement. Sperm motility should be in the range of 40-50%.
•     pH – When a man is healthy then the sperm he produces is healthy too. This means that the sperm is able to move around and can penetrate the egg for fertilization. The more healthy sperm, the better the chances of fertilization. pH level signifies the acidic content in the sperm. Lower pH levels signify the high acidic nature of the sperm. Higher pH levels signify the alkaline nature of the sperm. WHO has specified the normal pH level of the sperm as 7.2 – 7.8.
•     Fructose level – The seminal vesicles are glands that are present behind the bladder in the male reproductive system. These glands produce seminal fluid that is rich in fructose with the help of the kidneys, liver, vas deferens and prostate gland. Normal semen contains fructose to provide energy for the sperm. The absence of fructose may indicate a problem with the seminal vesicles.
