Urine Collector

In order for a spermogram to be reliable, it should be done after abstinence from sexual intercourse for 3-4 days, which does not include the day of last intercourse and the day of semen collection. It is still necessary to have proper arousal before taking a sample, which is why it is often necessary for his partner to be present and participate in the procedure if she wishes. Before collecting the sperm, the genital area and hands should be thoroughly washed. During ejaculation, through masturbation, the sperm is collected in a sterile container, which you can either buy from the pharmacy (it is similar to the urine collector), or we will offer you one at Medimall IVF Clinic.

The collection of sperm takes place in our private, especially designed space. If the semen is obtained at home, be careful when transporting the sperm sample to the laboratory, to maintain the body temperature. This can be achieved by placing it in contact with the body or by wrapping the container with cotton and aluminum foil externally.

From the moment the sperm is collected, until the moment it is delivered to the laboratory, it should not take more than an hour. If the semen culture shows that a germ is present in the semen, treatment with the appropriate antibiotics, selected from the antibiogram along with the microbe-positive semen culture, is required.

As for the values of the sperm parameters, if they are lower than normal, the semen analysis should be repeated at least 15 days from the previous. If the second sperm chart shows that the parameters of the sperm are lower than normal (defined by the World Health Organization), the sperm is characterized as abnormal and further testing is recommended depending on its pathology. The additional tests that the partner should undergo depending on the case are:

1. examination by a urologist andrologist
2. scrotum doppler
3. hormonal control
4. test for cystic fibrosis
5. sperm DNA fragmentation
