Semen examination at Invimed Poznań

Infertility affects women and men equally. This is why the doctor orders the appropriate tests for both the partner and the woman at the first visit. These are carried out in parallel, allowing the further treatment of the couple to be planned precisely. The most common cause of male infertility is poor sperm quality - this can be reduced sperm quality, reduced motility or structural abnormalities. In order to check male fertility and assess the condition of the sperm, a semen test, or spermiogram or seminogram, is performed. This is a basic test of fertility in men, which is carried out using modern technology and thanks to the experience of laboratory diagnosticians at the Invimed clinic in Poznań. Examination of semen quality allows to assess macroscopically the volume, colour, density and viscosity of ejaculate, and microscopically the number of spermatozoa, their morphology and motility.

How do you prepare for a sperm test?

Semen testing is performed routinely at the Invimed clinic in Poznań. It is a quick and simple test to perform. In order for the result to be consistent with the actual state, you should:

  • maintain sexual abstinence for 3-5 days prior to testing;

  • Abstain from alcohol for 3-5 days before the test;

  • consult the doctor about the medication you are taking.

What does the examination look like in the Invimed clinic in Poznań? The examination consists in taking a semen sample in a specially prepared room. The place is secluded and distant from the rest of the rooms. The clinic Invimed took care for the man to feel comfortable and safe. After the donation of the sample, the biological material goes immediately to the laboratory, where it is analysed by an embryologist. In exceptional cases, semen can be donated in a sterile container at home and brought to the clinic within an hour. However, due to exposure to temperature changes or the risk of improper storage, it is recommended that the semen be analysed at the clinic.

Why test sperm? What does the test check?

Semen examination gives key information about a man's fertility. This initial and basic diagnosis of male infertility helps to determine how likely a man will be to conceive a child. In addition, the result of the spermiogram gives the doctor information on the direction of further diagnosis and possible treatment. Semen testing standards are set by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and are identical for all men, regardless of age. The established values change every few years due to new research and medical observations.

Semen testing is carried out in the diagnostic laboratory, using CASA (Computer Assisted Semen Analysis) technology. With this method, the microscopic image recorded with a camera is processed and subjected to digital computer analysis. Computer-assisted semen testing allows for objective, reliable and highly precise semen analysis.
