It assesses the quality of semen, which is collected through masturbation into a container provided by the laboratory, without the use of lubricants, as they may interfere with the sample.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nA semen analysis can only be performed upon medical request in cases of suspected seminal infertility due to physical, genetic, or immunological conditions. Even individuals who already have children should undergo the test, as these conditions may have changed.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTo perform the test, a period of sexual abstinence of 2 to 5 days is required, during which there must be no ejaculation through sexual intercourse or masturbation, to ensure the quality of the sample.<br \/>\r\nVarious characteristics of the semen as a whole and of the sperm cells it contains are evaluated in the semen analysis through a descriptive report, as we will see below.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n\r\n\r\n\n    \n        <div class=\"block-text-center\">\n            <div class=\"container-md\">\n                <div class=\"content-center\">\n                    <h2 class=\"title\">First evaluation (macroscopic): physical aspects of the semen<\/h2>\n                    <p><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n    \n        <div class=\"block-tabs-page\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n                <ul id=\"tabs-v\" class=\"tabs\">\n                                            <li data-title=\"Color\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title\">Color<\/h3>\n                            <p>Healthy semen has a uniform milky-white color.

If the viscosity is abnormal, instead of drops, a 2 cm filament may form, which may indicate possible prostate dysfunction due to chronic inflammation.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis altered consistency may also interfere with the evaluation of several other semen characteristics in the following stages of the semen analysis, such as concentration, motility, and the detection of antisperm antibodies.<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li data-title=\"Volume\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title\">Volume<\/h3>\n                            <p>A normal ejaculation contains more than 1.5 mL and less than 5 mL.

The sperm&#8217;s ability to progress toward the egg is essential for fertilization. According to this criterion, there are four types of sperm:<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\u25cf\tTYPE A \u2013 motile sperm with rapid progressive movement;<br \/>\r\n\u25cf\tTYPE B \u2013 motile sperm with slow progressive movement;<br \/>\r\n\u25cf\tTYPE C \u2013 motile sperm without progression (they do not move forward);<br \/>\r\n\u25cf\tTYPE D \u2013 immotile sperm.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSemen considered normal by physicians is one that has Type A and B sperm totaling at least 32%, or alternatively, A+B+C totaling 40%.<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li data-title=\"Morphology\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title\">Morphology<\/h3>\n                            <p>At this stage, the shape of the sperm cells is evaluated to determine whether their structure is suitable for fertilization. Sperm may have very large heads that prevent them from reaching the uterus, heads that are too small, causing disorganized movement, double tails, or even two heads, among other possible abnormalities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy sample is one that contains at least 30% of sperm with normal morphology.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThere is another technique used to evaluate sperm morphology known as Kruger Strict Morphology, developed by the South African scientist Thinus Kruger. Kruger Morphology assesses the reproductive cells by looking for abnormalities in the shape of the tail, head, or acrosome. The result is considered normal when the percentage of suitable gametes is equal to or greater than 4%.<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li data-title=\"Vitality\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title\">Vitality<\/h3>\n                            <p>For samples in which more than 50% of the sperm are immotile, it is important to determine which are alive and which are dead. The vitality test provides this information with the aid of stains and microscopes (dead sperm absorb the stain because of their damaged membranes, while living sperm do not).<\/p>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li data-title=\"Cytological examination\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title\">Cytological examination<\/h3>\n                            <p>This stage analyzes the other cells present in the semen sample, such as spermatogenic cells (sperm-producing cells), red blood cells, and even leukocytes (white blood cells).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSemen with a high concentration of white blood cells may indicate an infection caused by fungi or protozoa in the prostate or seminal vesicles.<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li data-title=\"Hypo-osmotic test\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title\">Hypo-osmotic test<\/h3>\n                            <p>Finally, the integrity of the sperm cell membrane is evaluated using the hypo-osmotic test.
