Semen Analysis
Understanding sperm health
A sperm analysis is one of the most important first steps in understanding male fertility. It examines a semen sample to assess sperm count, motility, and shape, helping our team identify anything that may affect the chance of pregnancy.
With Thérapie Fertility, testing is designed to give you clear, useful information without unnecessary steps. A semen sample can tell us a lot, but it is always looked at alongside your medical history and, where relevant, other fertility tests for men. You do not need to be ready for treatment to have testing. Many people choose a sperm analysis to understand their fertility health and the options available to them.

What is a sperm analysis?
A sperm analysis is a test that looks at the semen sample produced during ejaculation, measuring both the liquid part of the sample and the sperm cells within it. It helps our team assess key factors such as semen volume, sperm count, sperm movement and whether the sperm appear normally formed. Together, these results can provide useful insight into male fertility and help identify potential obstacles to pregnancy.
A semen analysis does not always show every possible issue on its own, but it is one of the clearest starting points for understanding sperm health and deciding whether any further testing may be helpful. If further information is needed, our doctors may also recommend other tests, such as sperm DNA fragmentation or additional male fertility investigations.
