When these conditions are treated, a man will often see a significant improvement in his semen analysis. When these conditions are treated, either through medication, vasectomy reversal, vasovasostomy or other treatments, a man will often see a significant improvement in his semen analysis. Those men with poor semen analyses whose conditions are not treatable may still have the option of using advanced reproductive techniques to achieve a pregnancy. Even those men with no sperm in the ejaculate may be able to have some living sperm procured from them through other methods and achieve a pregnancy using advanced reproductive techniques. Those few men who produce absolutely no sperm at all, will have this information so that they can explore other options.
Semen testing is a sophisticated and technical field.
An improperly or incompletely performed semen analysis may miss significant problems. Unrecognized problems may significantly delay a man's treatment. Unlike many other lab tests, a semen analysis relies completely on the expertise of those performing it. Make sure that the lab has sophisticated protocols, and well trained and specialized technicians. In order to get accurate test results the specimen must be processed within one hour of collection.
