In the sexual life between couples, in order to have a "good quality" child, both men and women need to have high quality themselves. Some couples will go to the hospital for a detailed examination before deciding to have children. Women will check their eggs, and men will check their sperm. So, what are the steps for checking male sperm quality? What should be noted during the inspection?
What are the steps for checking male sperm quality?
1. Abstinence from sexual activity for 2-7 days is required before semen examination. It is not advisable to check semen if the abstinence time is too short (less than 48 hours) or too long (more than 7 days). If the abstinence period has exceeded 7 days, the semen should be examined within 2-7 days after ejaculation.
2. It is required to collect semen through masturbation and not to use condoms to interrupt sexual intercourse for external ejaculation. When collecting semen, one should concentrate and try to fully ejaculate the semen from the body. If ejaculation is not smooth enough (sexual arousal is not sufficient), it will result in less semen being collected than the actual semen volume. If the semen volume cannot approach the true level of the tester, it will seriously affect the accuracy of the test results.
3. Semen samples should be collected completely in designated containers, and no semen should be missed, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the test results.
4. It is best to collect semen within our institution, and it should be sent immediately after ejaculation, with a maximum time of no more than 1 hour. Semen samples should be kept warm (20-40 ℃) during transportation in cold weather.
5. The container used for semen collection is highly clean and must not be contaminated.
What should be noted in the steps of male sperm quality inspection?
1. Before leaving semen, patients should stop sexual intercourse for 4-7 days. When collecting semen, soft soap or paraffin oil can be used for penile massage, and the specimen should be collected in a sterile test tube; Semen can also be collected using condoms or by interrupting sexual intercourse. If semen cannot be collected using the above methods, massage the seminal vesicles and the end of the vas deferens through the rectum, compress and collect urine, and check for sperm in the sediment. Submit to the doctor for reference in a timely manner, not exceeding 30 minutes. Pay attention to keeping warm in cold weather and keep it in your underwear pocket for insulation.
2. If bacterial culture is to be carried out, the urethral opening should be rinsed and disinfected first, and then the semen should be collected in a sterile test tube.
The above content is a detailed preparation by the editor for the steps of male sperm quality inspection, as well as some precautions for men during sperm quality inspection. Depending on the hospital, there may be differences in the examination items for male sperm quality, but it is still necessary to understand the precautions. I hope this will be helpful to everyone.
