A semen analysis examines a man's sperm volume and quality – a crucial initial step in identifying male fertility problems. It entails gathering a sample and assessing it in a lab 24 .

There are a number of situations where a sperm test would be well advised:

When starting or expanding your family or when curious about your sperm quality.

For medical reasons such as, stress, anxiety, chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes, or previous or active cancer treatment.

When experiencing sexual performance issues such as erectile dysfunction or ejaculation difficulties. 

Other reasons might include: Infection of the scrotum or prostate. Long-term medication that might affect fertility. Recreational drug use. Previous testicel surgery

No. According to a study from 2017, sperm concentration in men decreased by 50% between 1973 to 2011. The established scientific view on the matter is that this decrease is on-going and moreover, there is as of today (2023) not enough research to explain this drop. Although more research is needed, the scientific community is well aware that every man can make lifestyle changes to slow down the decline.

What we eat, where we live, the amount of exercise we get, if we smoke and the amount of plastic used are all examples of factors that can harm fertility. To learn more on lifestyle factors connected to fertility 25 

The test is proven to be 95-97,5% accurate.

There are several actions you can take to affect the results of your sperm test. 

Långsiktiga åtgärder

1. Undvik alkohol, droger och nikotin upptill 90 dagar innan du lämnar ett test. Ju längre du avstår innan du lämnar ditt prov, desto större är dina chanser till ett bättre resultat.

2. Undvik värme och åtsittande byxor upptill 90 dagar innan du lämnar ditt test. Ju längre du avstår innan du lämnar ditt prov, desto större är dina chanser till ett bättre resultat.

3. Undvik att ha mobilen nära dina genitalier upptill 90 dagar innan du lämnar ditt test. Ju längre du lyckas hålla strålningen nere, desto större är dina chanser till ett bättre resultat.

Kortsiktiga åtgärder

1. Ha utlösning (genom sex eller onani) 2-3 gånger/vecka för att öka chanserna till att sperman innehåller många friska spermier.

2. Vänta i 2-3 dagar mellan utlösningarna för att säkerställa största möjliga volym sädesvätska och största möjliga antal spermier.

OBS. För att detta ska fungera gäller total avhållsamhet under "mellandagarna".

If we disregard the time it takes to ejaculate, it takes approximately 20 minutes from ejaculation to take the test.

The preliminary results will arrive within 60 minutes from taking the test. Once the test is done, embryologists analyze your sample for a final assessment. The final results will be delivered within 24 hours. 

1. Scan the QR-code.

2. Leave a sperm sample in the cup and let it rest for 15 minutes in room temperature.

3. Rotate the lid 5 times without lifting up the lid. 

4. Enter the volume in the application as seen on the side of the cup. 

5. Lift up the lid and place the tip on the microscope slide (the thin piece of glass) according to instructions and make sure that enough fluid is transferred to the glass. 

6. Insert the slide into the hardware that followed the home test kit.

Every test kit comes with two sets of testing material. That means that you can test your sperm quality twice with one test kit.

There are several actions you can take to affect the results of your sperm test. 

Long-term actions

1. Avoid alcohol, drugs and nicotine up to 90 days prior to providing the test. The longer you abstain from these compounds, the greater your chances of optimal results. 

2. Avoid heat and tight clothing up to 90 days prior to providing the test. The longer you abstain from heat exposure, the greater your chances of optimal results. 

3. Avoid having your phone close to your genitalia up to 90 days prior to providing the test. The longer you manage to keep radiation levels low, the greater your chances of optimal results.

Short-term actions

1. Ejaculate (through intercourse or masturbation) 2-3 times/week to increase your chances of a sample with many healthy sperm.

2. Wait 2-3 days between ejaculations to ensure the release of the largest possible number of sperm in the highest possible volume of semen. Note: You will need to to abstain from masturbation entirely on your days "off".
