SPERmiogram - procedure and evaluation

The spermiogram is also known as a sperm test or sperm analysis and is an examination of the ejaculate in the laboratory. It is done to check the man's sperm quality and fertility. You can usually have your semen analysis done by a urologist or andrologist.

A spermiogram is useful if you just can't get pregnant, because it provides information about the number, shape and mobility of the sperm.

The process is quite simple. On the day of the spermiogram, a semen sample is given through masturbation.

The sperm sample is then examined macroscopically, i.e. with the naked eye, in the laboratory. Here the amount of semen is measured in milliliters and it is checked whether your semen is liquid. In addition, the color is analyzed and the pH value is measured. A microscopic examination is then carried out. Above all, the concentration, shape and mobility of the sperm are checked here.
