The semen analysis test in Chennai is a simple and important check that helps assess male fertility by examining a semen sample. If you and your partner are planning a family or facing challenges in conceiving, this test at Unittas Hospital provides clear insights to guide the next steps in your journey. The semen analysis test looks at key features of semen and sperm, such as how many sperm are present, how well they move, and their shape. It is often the first step when checking for male factors in fertility issues.
This test studies a semen sample to see if sperm are healthy enough to help achieve pregnancy. It checks basic aspects like count, movement, and appearance. The results help doctors understand if there are any concerns with sperm quality.
Doctors recommend it when:
A couple has been trying to conceive for some time without success
There are known issues like low sperm count or past illnesses affecting fertility
After a vasectomy to confirm it was successful (no sperm should remain)
As part of routine fertility evaluation
It gives useful information about male reproductive health.
The process is private and straightforward:
You provide a sample by masturbation in a comfortable, private room at the hospital (or at home in some cases, if delivered quickly).
The sample must reach the lab within a short time for accurate checking.
No needles or pain are involved – just a natural collection.
The lab examines it under a microscope and with other methods.
Results are usually ready the same day or within 24 hours.
To get the most accurate results:
Avoid sexual activity or ejaculation for 2 to 5 days before the test (but not longer than 7–10 days).
Do not use alcohol, tobacco, or certain medicines that might affect sperm.
Tell the staff about any recent illnesses, fevers, or medications.
Stay hydrated and follow any specific instructions from your doctor.
The report looks at several things. Here are the main ones based on standard guidelines:
Semen analysis normal range (approximate lower reference values from recent WHO guidelines; labs may vary slightly):
If results are outside these ranges, it does not always mean infertility – many men with lower values can still conceive. Your doctor will explain what it means for you and may suggest lifestyle changes, further tests, or treatment.
