Reading your result
The laboratory reports each characteristic separately. The collection interval, any missed portion and a recent fever can matter when comparing samples.
What can affect it
- One semen analysis cannot establish fertility or infertility on its own.

Patient questions
Before you book
Does one result determine whether I am fertile?
No. Results vary between samples, and fertility involves more than semen measurements. The clinician may recommend repeating the analysis with a similar abstinence interval.
What if I lose part of the sample?
Tell the laboratory which portion was missed. The completeness of a sample affects interpretation of volume, concentration and total sperm count.
Can a recent fever influence semen quality?
Yes. Discuss recent fever and illness with the clinician, particularly when a result differs from an earlier examination.
Can I use lubricant or saliva to collect the semen sample?
Use the container provided and avoid saliva and ordinary lubricants, which can affect sperm. If you need help collecting the sample, ask the laboratory about a suitable collection method before you begin.
