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 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.
You might wonder how a semen test is done. A semen analysis or semen test is a really straightforward procedure. For a semen test at home in Dubai, all you have to do is give us a call. For the semen analysis, the man need to deposit a semen sample into a container provided by the lab. This is encouraged through masturbation so the sample collected is clean. 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.
Once the semen sample is collected, it is taken to the semen test lab and analysed by the Vesta Care team using advanced research-based and reliable methods to handle and to test the sample. Once the report is ready, it’ll be delivered to you, and you’ll be given the option to avail a free consultation with a doctor from the Vesta Care team to discuss the results and the way forward based on your report.

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

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.
At-home 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.
