Semen Analysis: UCLH
NCL WideProvided By
The University College London Hospitals (UCLH) semen analysis service aims to assess a man's sperm and semen to identify factors which may be influencing fertility.
Reasons to request a test include to:
- investigate difficulties conceiving
- determine fertility treatment suitability
- confirm success of a procedure (e.g. vasectomy)
- assess effects of other procedures on fertility (e.g. post-chemotherapy, surgery).
Patients are seen with an appointment only and must have between two to seven days of sexual abstinence. The wait for appointments is currently approximately 16 weeks.
Patients are requested to bring their samples with them to their appointment. Instructions and sterile specimen pots are sent to the patient around a month before their appointment.
For information on sperm banking / sperm cryopreservation, see the Fertility Preservation service page.
