All about the spermogram

Are you wondering what a spermogram is? Despite this rather barbaric word it just refers to a male fertility evaluation.

• The spermogram is an analysis of the semen to measure the dosage of certain substances.
• Men can learn everything about their sperm: number, size, shape, and mobility.
• The sample is taken by masturbation, preferably in a laboratory. There is no pain involved, just the discomfort of having to collect his sperm in a bottle.
• This test, which is essential for assessing male fertility, must be performed after at least three days of sexual abstinence and within two hours of collection.
