Why would I need Semen Analysis Test?
To put it simply, a semen analysis test, also known as the sperm, count test is a lab test where the doctors examine a sample of semen under a microscope. It helps to analyse the health and the viability of a man’s sperm which directly correlates to fertility. It shows how many sperm are released, how they’re shaped and how well they move.
