Can Abstaining Effect The Semen?

My husband was recently given a sperm analysis and he had not been told that he had to abstain from sexual activity before the test. He was told that his sperm count was 10 million/mL and that it was low. Could this have been affected by not abstaining like he was supposed to? He is a 29 year old male and all the other results from the semen analysis were normal.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

I strongly agree that semen report done only after three day of sexual abstinence period

So we cannot rely on this report

You have to repeat semen analysis after maintaining three days of sexual abstinence

Hope I have solved your query

Take care
