SPERMIOGRAM

SPERMIOGRAM

The sperm sample is taken after 3-5 days of sexual abstinence.

The most suitable sperm delivery method is masturbation.

Rules to be followed when giving a sperm sample:

Hands and penis should be washed with soapy water and rinsed with plenty of water before the procedure.
You must urinate before sampling.
No lubricant is used during the process.
The sample container is sterile, open the lid so as not to cause any contamination and close it after giving sperm.
Give the whole sample to the container, if it is out, the result may be wrong.

If sperm will be given outside the hospital, in addition to the above rules, you must deliver the sample to the laboratory within 30 minutes at the latest. You should keep the sample close to body temperature and not exposed to sunlight. Carrying under the seat may be a suitable method.
