Can Having Intercourse Before Semen Analysis Impact The Result?
Hello, I am 29 years old and since last 1 1/2 year; we have been trying for baby. We have tested ourselves and have come to know that i have less Sperm count. But when the Semen analysis was done; the gap with the Semen analysis and intercourse was just 2 days. Is it because of this the Sperm count was shown less in the report? And if i want to go for Semen Analysis once again; can i directly go to any Lab for the same? Please suggest.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Two days gap may not be the reason for your low semen count.You can always repeat with 3 to 5 days abstinence. You can give sample before 12 noon to any good lab within 45 min of collection. One test need not be reliable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
