    1. Hello

      I would like to get a semen analysis done. I’ve lived a fairly wild life until I finally settled with my wife and I am worried I may have made myself infertile with all the partying, and she wants to start a family. What will they look at in it? Thanks in advance!

      • Hi Richard_Jewson

        If you are at all concerned about your fertility then a semen analysis is one of the first things that will be looked at. If you attend a clinic for fertlity testing they may also look at your hormone levels and perform a physical examination. However, it is important to keep in mind that these tests are usually performed after a year of trying for a baby with regular unprotected sex. The lack of conception is usually the best indicator of a fertility problem.

        The following articles may be helpful for more information on what types on fertility tests are generally done on men and in the semen analysis:
        What is a basic semen analysis and how is it done step by step?

        I hope this answer is helpful.
