Introduction to Semen Analysis

Importance of Semen Analysis

Semen analysis is important for several reasons:

  • To determine whether compromised semen parameters contribute to infertility
  • To confirm that vasectomy has reduced sperm count to zero
  • To confirm the presence of sperm following reversal of vasectomy
  • To confirm or refute the presence of sperm in cases where rape is suspected or paternity is in question
