What is Routine Semen Examination with Semen Fructose?
A routine semen examination, also known as semen analysis, is a laboratory test that examines the various parameters of semen like morphology, sperm count, semen volume and motility. If combined with a semen fructose test, it also calculates the content of fructose present in semen.
Fructose is secreted by the seminal vesicles, and it provides the energy to sperm for their movement. The presence or absence of fructose helps doctors determine whether the seminal vesicles are working normally and whether the reproductive tract is blocked.
The test is commonly recommended when couples have infertility issues because male factors contribute to nearly 40–50% of infertility cases worldwide.
