You never really expect to go in for a sperm test. It’s not something anyone dreams about while planning a family. But sometimes, when things aren’t moving forward, it becomes necessary to pause and ask: Could the problem be on my side? To find out if the infertility issues are arising from the male side, a semen analysis or a sperm count test helps. We at Bliss Fertility handle all your concerns with privacy, clarity, and kindness. Male infertility is still taboo in our society; however, we deal with it with the motive to drive results.
What Is a Semen Analysis and How Does It Work?
Fertility tests in males usually start with a simple semen analysis. It is the first step to check if the male is dealing with any infertility issues. The lab technician will ask for your sperm sample to later evaluate its health.
The process monitors:
Check the number of sperm per milliliter of semen.
How well the sperm can move, which is also known as Motility.
Additionally, examine the shape and structure of the sperm (morphology).
It also includes factors like semen volume, colour level, and white blood cell presence.
The test process is fairly straightforward. You will be asked to abstain from ejaculation for 2–5 days before providing a sample and to collect semen by masturbation in a private collection room at the clinic. Once the sperm is collected, the lab technician will analyze it under an advanced microscope.
Sperm count test delivers results in less than 48 hours, followed by a doctor's consultation. The conversation with fertility experts often explains what the numbers mean, whether they fall within the normal range, and more. If the number falls below the range, the doctor will advise supplements and lifestyle changes, or other steps in fertility treatment. At Bliss, we understand that this might feel awkward - but knowing your sperm health can make all the difference in your fertility journey.
Why Semen Analysis Matters in Fertility Treatment?
A sperm count test is the most basic yet effective procedure to understand infertility issues in men. If a couple has been trying to conceive without success, this basic test can help rule out or identify male factor issues without delay or guesswork. It’s non-invasive, affordable, and can save months of emotional and financial strain. Many people start fertility investigations focusing only on the woman. But in reality, male fertility issues are just as common. Doing the test early helps doctors tailor the right treatment - whether that’s lifestyle changes, medications, or assisted methods like IUI or IVF. At Bliss, we believe clarity brings confidence, and this test is often where that clarity begins.
Key Benefits of Getting a Semen Analysis Early

Helps avoid delays in figuring out the real issue

Gives you peace of mind, even if results are normal
It’s not about pressure but knowing what’s going on, so you can move forward with confidence.
