A program is a laboratory study of seminal fluid that allows you to determine its main parameters. This method refers to the main diagnosis when it is impossible to conceive a child. In other words, a spermogram allows you to determine the reasons why a man cannot have children. At the same time, even a semen analysis that is positive in all respects, confirming the normal structure and activity of spermatozoa, cannot 100% say that a man can fertilize a woman.

So, about 30% of infertile men after the study receive a protocol with normal indicators of their ejaculate. The poor conclusion of the analysis also cannot be considered a "sentence", therefore, the diagnostic technique is used in combination with other measures to determine the true cause of infertility. But in any case, it is the spermogram that allows the doctor to understand in which direction to look for the cause of the problem and how to solve it.

HOW THE SPERM GRAM IS SUPPLIED

It is extremely important to properly prepare for the procedure:

1. 7 days before donating sperm, you must refrain from sex and self-satisfaction.
2. 3 months before the ejaculate delivery, it is recommended to stop taking alcohol, and drugs, and stop smoking.
3. 1-2 weeks before the delivery of seminal fluid, it is necessary to stop taking dietary supplements and any medications (this issue must be agreed with the doctor).
4. A week before the study, you can not visit the sauna or bath, take a bath, or shower with hot water.
5. 1-2 weeks before the analysis, it is worthwhile to stop playing sports for a while (reduce them to the maximum).

Obtaining an ejaculate is usually done with the help of masturbation and further ejaculation in a special sterile container. The patient has two options - to do everything at home or in the clinic. But you need to understand that to obtain accurate data, it is necessary to examine the sperm no later than 60 minutes after receiving it. Therefore, the ideal solution is a clinic. In such a situation, the patient is taken to the office, where he can retire as much as possible and will not be distracted from the process. For sexual arousal, special materials (magazines or videos) are offered.

If the patient still chooses to take the ejaculate at home, he must not only have time to hand over the material within an hour but also remember that it is forbidden to use ordinary condoms to take biological fluid. Also, you can not donate ejaculate after interrupted intercourse, because the material will contain substances secreted by the vagina. In cases where, for religious or other reasons, masturbation is not possible, the patient will be recommended special condoms to be used during sexual contact with his partner.

DECODING OF THE SPERM GRAM

After receiving the biological substance, its laboratory research is carried out. As part of this study, the following sperm parameters will be determined:

1. Volume (spermogram norms - 2 ml.).
2. Viscosity (the parameter is determined by calculating the time during which the sperm liquefies. The norm is 10-40 minutes).
3. Color (the normal color of seminal fluid is light or a shade of yellow. With a pale pink color, red blood cells are present in the ejaculate).
4. Acidity (pH should be at the level of 7.2-7.4. If it is higher, this indicates inflammation, if less, it indicates a slowdown in the movement of fluid through the excretory ducts).
5. The number of spermatozoa (about 20-60 million germ cells per 1 ml of secretion).
6. Motility of germ cells (according to mobility, spermatozoa are divided into 4 groups: A (mobile live - the norm), B (mobile, slow), C (able to move, but move progressively, chaotically), and D (fixed)).
7. Spermagglutination (this is a state of cells sticking together with each other, normally it is not observed).
8. The presence of abnormal germ cells (with a normal structure of spermatozoa, such cells are not detected).
9. Antisperm antibodies (if there are such antibodies, this indicates an incorrect reaction of the body's immunity to its sexual secret).
10. Microscopy (if everything is in order, the secret will contain a small number of amyloid bodies, spermatogenic epithelium, and up to 3 leukocytes).

 

WHAT THE SPERM GRAM SHOWS

You need to understand that only a qualified andrologist can correctly interpret the results of a spermogram. Do not try to decipher the analysis yourself. Moreover, you need to remember what was written above - both good and bad tests cannot be considered the main cause of infertility.

After examining the seminal fluid, the patient receives a protocol in his hands, which states what exactly the spermogram showed:

1. Normozoospermia - the norm for all indicators of seminal fluid.
2. Zoospermia - no spermatozoa were found in the secret.
3. Aspermia or oligospermia is a too small volume of biological fluid, which makes it impossible to qualitatively assess its parameters.
4. Asthenozoospermia - immobility of germ cells.
5. Oligozoospermia - too few germ cells in secret.
6. Terazoospermia is an excessively large number of abnormal germ cells in the ejaculate.

In some cases, the analysis may show several deviations from the norm at the same time.

HOW MUCH IS A SPERM GRAM IN THE COMPLEX SVITYAZ

In Svityaz, you can make a spermogram with a detailed transcript for only 880 hryvnias. The conclusion will display all the important indicators of the study, based on which the doctor will be able to assess the patient's condition and prescribe adequate effective treatment.

REVIEWS ABOUT SPERMOGRAM

Since we offer our patients to perform a spermogram with the most detailed protocol, the feedback on the procedure remains positive in 100% of cases. After all, the study gives the specialist maximum information to determine the important parameters of the seminal fluid and find out the cause of various pathologies.
