About this test

What is a semen test?

A semen test or semen analysis checks the quality and volume of a man’s semen and sperm. Also called a seminogram or spermiogram, the test checks the sample against a set number of characteristics of a male’s sperm. Depending on what your healthcare practitioner has recommended, different kinds of characteristics of your sperm will be analysed in a laboratory after collection. It has a non-invasive collection procedure, where semen is simply collected into a container for analysis.

A semen test analysis can be a complicated test that should only be carried out by properly qualified and trained professionals who can ensure the ultimate quality management and validation of test devices. A regular semen analysis will generally include the physical characteristics, morphology, concentration, volume and sperm motility and development.

What is semen?

Simply put, semen is the liquid released from a male’s penis at ejaculation. Semen generally contains sperm, which are the male reproductive cells, and fluids. Semen also includes vitamins, minerals and proteins to sustain the sperm until fertilisation.

In medical terms, semen is the organic fluid released during ejaculation, and contains spermatozoa and various components like enzymes, fructose, and fluids from seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands. In short, semen is a genetic material crucial for fertilization and reproduction.

What is sperm count and motility?

Sperm count means the number of sperm present in a millilitre of your semen. A normal semen sample can usually have from 15 to 40 million sperm. A large number of fertility issues can result from an abnormal sperm count. At-home sperm analysis kits usually only check your sperm count. Going for an at-home semen test with Vesta Care will help you get a report that covers other factors that could be affecting your sperm as well.

Sperm motility means the ability of your sperm’s moving ability. If your sperm can move quickly and efficiently, it will impact fertility rates. Another aspect to consider is sperm morphology, which means the size and shape of your sperm. A healthy sperm is supposed to have an oval head and a long tail. Any abnormally shaped or sized sperm will have an issue reaching and fertilizing the egg. Seminal fructose levels can also demonstrate an issue with the functioning of your seminal glands.

What a regular semen analysis includes

One non-invasive sample, checked against a set number of characteristics of a male’s sperm:

  • The physical characteristics of the semen
  • Morphology — the size and shape of the sperm
  • Concentration — the number of sperm per millilitre
  • Volume — the total volume of semen produced
  • Sperm motility and development
What is measured

Semen Test for Fertility Issues

A semen analysis is not one number. Each of these is measured on the same sample, and each answers a different question about how the sperm are made, how they survive and how they move.

pH of the semen

A semen test done for fertility issues in men will check the pH level of your semen. Semen being too acidic can have an adverse effect on sperm health.

Volume and concentration

The semen volume and sperm concentration is also checked, which means the volume of total semen produced, and the number of sperm per mm in the semen.

Morphology and motility

The size and shape of the sperm is analysed (called sperm morphology), along with sperm motility, which is the ability of a sperm to efficiently swim to the egg.

Liquefaction and vitality

Other parameters that are checked include time to liquefaction of the sperm, and the vitality of the sperm which means the number of live sperm present in the sample.

White blood cells

The number of white blood cells is also counted to rule out the chances of inflammation and infection.

Reference limits your report is read against — WHO laboratory manual for the examination and processing of human semen, sixth edition (2021)
Semen volume — 1.4 mL or moreSperm concentration — 16 million per mL or moreTotal sperm number — 39 million per ejaculate or moreTotal motility — 42% or moreProgressive motility — 30% or moreVitality (live sperm) — 54% or moreNormal morphology — 4% or morepH — 7.2 or higherLiquefaction — complete within 60 minutes
Why is a semen test done?

Two clinical questions bring most men to a semen analysis. The report is read differently for each.

Ruling out infertility

A semen test can be suggested by your doctor to rule out infertility if you’re trying to have a baby. Inability to conceive could be a sign of abnormality in the semen.

Post-vasectomy Semen Test

Another reason is to follow-up on your sperm count after a vasectomy. The test will determine whether or not your vasectomy was a success. If your semen test shows no presence of sperm, it’s a sign your vasectomy was successful.

A normal result after vasectomy

For a semen test result after vasectomy, the number of sperm will be checked. After a successful vasectomy, a normal semen test means no live sperm, or a few immobile ones.

An abnormal result after vasectomy

If moving or non-moving sperm are in a high number, this will be an abnormal semen test result after vasectomy, and you will need to discuss this with your healthcare practitioner.

It is worth noting that because the sperm count in semen can vary a lot from one day to another, multiple samples might be required to be taken over the course of few weeks to get an accurate report.

Semen Analysis is priced as an individual biomarker, so a one-off AED 100 home collection fee is added per booking when your basket holds individual biomarkers only. It is waived when a package such as the Male Fertility Profile is in your basket. Abstain from ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before collection and avoid alcohol, tobacco and certain medications during that period; our clinical team gives you the full collection instructions when you book.

A semen test is typically taken when evaluating male fertility, investigating potential causes of infertility, or after a vasectomy to confirm its effectiveness. It’s best to take the test after 2 to 7 days of abstinence for accurate results. If you’re unsure, our clinicians can guide you on the optimal timing based on your health goals.
To prepare for a semen test, you should abstain from ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before sample collection. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and certain medications during this period, as they may affect sperm quality. Detailed instructions are provided by Vesta Care’s clinical team to ensure sample integrity.
Semen tests are non-invasive and carry virtually no physical risks. The key to accurate results lies in carefully following the provided instructions. All samples should be handled hygienically and delivered to the lab within the recommended timeframe.
Standard semen analysis focuses on sperm count, motility, morphology, and other physical parameters. While it can suggest potential hormonal imbalances (e.g., very low sperm count), it doesn’t directly measure hormone levels. Vesta Care offers additional hormonal testing if further evaluation is needed.
With Vesta Care’s semen testing, results are typically available within 24 hours after the sample is received by our partner laboratory. You’ll be notified through a secure and confidential communication channel.
