A semen analysis is often the first step in evaluating male fertility.
It’s a simple, non-invasive test that looks at three key factors: s***m count, movement (motility), and shape (morphology) along with semen volume, pH, and signs of infection.
But here’s what many people don’t realize: a “normal” result doesn’t always mean everything is functioning perfectly.
Factors like s***m DNA quality, hormone balance, lifestyle habits, and environmental exposures can still impact fertility even when basic results look fine.
Fertility is complex and getting a full picture sometimes requires looking beyond the first test.
