Should The Semen For The Analysis Be Withdrawn In The Hospital Itself?

hi doctor, recently i came to know that i have pco and my gynecologist prescribed my husband to have a semen analysis. we took the semen sample in a plastic pot bought from a pharmacy. we went to a reputed hospital in my city which is only 5 min distance from our house. but the doctors there said that the semen should be ejaculated there in the hospital and they rejected to take our sample. i want to know that is there any legal problem to take the sample bought from home and why they rejected?

Good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic!!!

Semen samples should be collected in the hospital premises not due to legal concerns but because of quality and accuracy concerns. We take note of the time when the semen liquefies and how long they stay alive with effective propulsion. This is needed to properly evaluate the sample and for your urologist to be able to have the most accurate data to be interpreted.

I am sorry to hear that the hospital that you went to wasn't able to properly explain why an outside sample cannot be allowed.
