Home sperm count tests

Home sperm tests measure sperm count — the number of sperm in the fluid semen ejaculated during an orgasm. But sperm count is only one factor in a man's fertility. Home sperm tests require a man to ejaculate into a collection cup. While procedures vary for transferring semen and completing the test, results are typically available in as soon as 10 minutes. The tests work by detecting a protein found only in sperm. If a home sperm test indicates that your sperm concentration is below 20 million sperm per milliliter negative , you'll likely want to consult a doctor for a complete fertility evaluation.

Having a low sperm count can make it more difficult to conceive naturally, although successful pregnancies can still occur. Problems with sperm, including a low sperm count and problems with sperm quality, are quite common. They're a factor in around one in three couples who are struggling to get pregnant. There are treatments available on the NHS or privately that can help you become a dad if you have a low sperm count.

Low sperm count is one of the main causes of fertility issues in couples experiencing difficulty in conceiving. The fewer sperm a man produces, the lower the likelihood that one of the sperm will be able to successfully fertilize the egg. Studies show that percent of infertility issues are male-related. The sooner an issue is identified, the sooner appropriate treatment can be started.
