What is Semen Examination ?

A Semen Examination, also known as a semen analysis, is a diagnostic test that evaluates the quality and health of a man’s sperm. It is commonly performed to assess male fertility or investigate potential causes of infertility. The test examines various parameters, including sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and the overall composition of semen, such as volume, pH, and the presence of white blood cells or other abnormalities. Doctors typically recommend a semen examination when a couple is experiencing difficulty conceiving after a year of unprotected intercourse. It is also used to evaluate the effectiveness of vasectomy or in cases of suspected infections, hormonal imbalances, or other conditions affecting the male reproductive system.

Semen Examination Report Format: Breakdown

Here’s what an ideal Semen Examination report format should include:

Header Information:

Patient Details: Full name, Age, Gender, and ID.
TAT information: Timestamp for both sample collection and report generation.
Doctor's Information: Name of the referral doctor, if applicable.

Test Results Section:

Patient's results

As obvious as it is, a test report should definitely have the patient's test result.

Interpretations

Nowadays, most labs prefer to add interpretations to the reports, making the report more patient-friendly. Labsmart software has interpretations of all routine test pre-filled in the software.

Footer Section:

Certifications:

Display any relevant accreditations (e.g., NABL, ISO), adding to your lab's credibility.
Pathologist and technician signature:

It's mandatory to add a Pathologist and technician signature to the report.

Semen Examination Interpretation

In Labsmart software, this is the inbuilt interpretation for Semen Examination

Method: Semen is collected in a urine container after masturbation following 3 days of abstinence from ejaculation. Specimen must be examined promptly.

Physiologic Basis: Conventional semen analysis includes the determination of sperm count, semen volume, sperm motility (qualitative and quantitative), and sperm morphology. In addition to sperm count, sperm morphology and motility may have the most predictive utility. Infertility can be associated with low counts or with sperm of abnormal morphology or decreased motility.

Interpretation: Decreased in- Primary or secondary testicular failure, cryptorchidism, following vasectomy, drugs.

Comments: A low sperm count should be confirmed by sending two other appropriately collected semen specimens for evaluation. The usefulness of conventional semen analysis parameters as predictors of fertility is somewhat limited. Therefore, alternative tests based on more functional aspects (sperm penetration, capacitation, acrosome reaction) have been developed.

All inbuilt interpretations in the Labsmart pathology software is made in consultation with a doctor and is © copyright of Labsmart Healthcare Technologies.

Importance of adding interpretation to reports:

It's very helpful to add interpretation in reports as it makes the reports more patient friendly and also helpful to doctors in some cases. Moreover, presently most labs prefer providing reports with interpretation. Thus, adding interpretation to report will help your lab stay at par with other competitor labs.
