Semen Analysis; Seminogram (NHC)

The Semen Analysis; Seminogram (NHC) is a laboratory test used to evaluate male fertility by examining the quality and quantity of semen and sperm. It assesses important parameters such as sperm count, sperm motility (movement), sperm morphology (shape), semen volume, and the presence of infection or other abnormalities. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine the reproductive health of a male and identify possible causes of infertility.

The Semen Analysis (Seminogram) test is commonly recommended for men who are experiencing difficulty conceiving, have a history of infertility, or are undergoing fertility evaluation before assisted reproductive procedures. It is also useful for detecting conditions such as low sperm count (oligospermia), poor sperm motility (asthenozoospermia), abnormal sperm morphology (teratozoospermia), and infections such as prostatitis. A normal result generally indicates an adequate sperm count, healthy movement, and normal sperm shape, while abnormal findings may suggest fertility problems or underlying infections that require further evaluation. The results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional along with the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and other fertility investigations to guide appropriate treatment and reproductive planning.
