The simplest evaluation of a male is the semen analysis (SA).
Sperm density, motility, and morphology are assessed during the analysis. The SA is done by our andrology laboratory by appointment only. The male partner is required to have one to three days of abstinence prior to the day the analysis is to be done. Candidates for in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) will have additional testing performed that includes separating the more active sperm.
Please contact our office if you have any questions regarding specimen collection parameters, payment, and the process.
Semen analysis (SA) is often the first step in evaluating male fertility and helps providers determine the most appropriate path to pregnancy. The analysis assesses sperm count (concentration), movement (motility), and shape (morphology), and the results help guide care options ranging from natural conception to assisted reproductive treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
NewLIFE offers semen analysis for couples who are actively trying to conceive, with testing scheduled as part of the new couple work-up. Testing is performed by the Andrology Laboratory by appointment only. A male presenting without a partner must have intent to conceive and provide a valid referral from another physician in order to establish care and schedule testing. Individuals without a referral may be assisted with access to testing through Fellow or another external consumer testing service.
NewLIFE does not provide semen analysis for general screening, curiosity testing, or to confirm sterility after vasectomy.
