Basic rules in preparation for spermogram

There are a number of diseases related to the male sexual system, requiring the submission of analysis and in-depth examination. Spermogram is the most reliable method, allowing the most accurate estimate of the ability of male sperm to fertilization. The most important point is the competent preparation for the spermogram, which consists of a number of rules that are mandatory for compliance.

When is the spermogram performed?

Any survey method has a number of indications for the conduct. Spermogram readings are due to:

• by conducting a male fertility study;
• the ability of sperm to impregnate;
• impossibility of spouses to conceive a child for six months;
• evaluation of spermatogenic function of the testicles - attention is paid to the ability to form active spermatozoa.

How is the spermogram performed?

The procedure for the study of seminal fluid takes two stages:

1. The first is characterized by macroscopic examination of the properties of the ejaculate, in which all actions are aimed at studying the sperm viscosity, liquefaction time, volume, acidity, color, consistency of the ejaculate.

2. The second is carried out as part of a microscopic examination of the ejaculate. With the help of a microscope, the total number of spermatozoa is counted, their mobility and the ratio of mobile spermatozoa to immobile ones, morphology, and the presence of inflammatory processes are studied( if a high level of leukocytes is detected).

How to prepare for a spermogram?

In order for the results of the spermogram to be reliable, and the diagnosis to be accurate, it is recommended that you prepare as much as possible for this procedure. There are a number of important rules that must be observed by the patient. All the rules complement each other, are not considered separately. Such rules 10.

1. Before going through the procedure( preferably a week), the patient should follow the dietary recommendations. This means that he should exclude from the diet high-fat, fried, canned food, coffee, strong tea. These cells can reduce the volume of seminal fluid, motility of spermatozoa. To increase the activity of maturation of spermatozoa, it is necessary to enrich the food with vitamin products.
2. For two or three it is necessary to refrain from sexual intercourse. This is necessary in order to obtain accurate data, frequent sexual contact can reduce the amount of ejaculate and the total number of spermatozoa. But complete abstinence from sex also distorts the results of the spermogram. Therefore, it is not recommended to abstain for more than 6-7 days before the procedure, because for such a period spermatozoa fall into seminal vesicles, perishing.
3. One week prior to the analysis, it is necessary to exclude from the diet any alcoholic beverages, they interfere with the mobility of spermatozoa, reducing their activity, changing the shape, while increasing the number of inactive sex cells.
4. In case the patient suffers from diseases of the genitourinary system of an inflammatory nature, one should first complete a complete course of treatment, only then prepare for a spermogram. The main treatment should be completed one week before the proposed procedure. Such a period is necessary for the absolute withdrawal from the body of previously taken medicines, which may interfere with the results of the spermogram.
5. If the patient is ill with catarrhal or acute respiratory illnesses during the spermogram, the procedure should be postponed until complete recovery. The process of intoxication, which occurs due to the activity of infections, can significantly distort the indicators of analysis.
6. Before taking the test, you should exclude visiting the sauna or sauna, as high body temperature interferes with the maturation of spermatozoa.
7. The patient is not recommended to load himself with heavy physical exertion before the procedure. Physical fatigue distorts the results of the study.
8. You should also not be nervous or depressed - a similar condition disrupts the hormonal background, which can change the sperm count.
9. Before the procedure, it is necessary to avoid massage of the prostate( even if it was prescribed by a doctor), as this deteriorates the quality of the semen.
10. Before spermogramma it is necessary to provide itself with high-grade dream and as much as possible to have a rest.
