    FAQ

    What is a comprehensive semen analysis?
    A comprehensive semen analysis is an in-depth laboratory evaluation of male reproductive health that measures over 20 critical sperm parameters, including sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and overall semen quality. This clinical-grade test provides essential insights for couples planning conception or men wanting to assess their fertility potential from the privacy of their home.
    How does Mate Health's at-home semen analysis work?
    Mate Health's at-home semen analysis follows a simple four-step process: (1) order your kit online and receive it within 2–3 business days, (2) collect your semen sample privately at home following the provided instructions, (3) ship your sample to the CLIA-certified lab using the prepaid FedEx label, and (4) receive your detailed results within 1–2 business days through a secure online portal. The kit includes proprietary preservation solution and active cooling technology to maintain sample integrity during transit.
    Is an at-home semen analysis as accurate as a clinic test?
    Yes. Mate Health's at-home semen analysis delivers clinical-grade accuracy equivalent to in-clinic testing. Samples are analyzed in a CAP and CLIA-certified, high-complexity andrology laboratory using the same professional standards and equipment used by fertility clinics. Proprietary preservation solution and temperature-controlled shipping help maintain sperm integrity during transport.
    What sperm parameters does the comprehensive semen analysis test?
    The comprehensive semen analysis evaluates more than 20 sperm and semen parameters, including sperm concentration, total sperm count, progressive motility, total motility, velocity, morphology (using strict Kruger criteria), semen volume, pH levels, viscosity, liquefaction time, and white blood cell count. These measurements follow WHO 6th Edition (2021) guidelines for male fertility assessment.
    How long does it take to get semen analysis results?
    Results are typically available within 1–2 business days after the laboratory receives your sample. Results are delivered through a secure online portal and include both clinical-grade laboratory data and easy-to-understand explanations. MateIQ also provides personalized insights and recommended next steps based on your results.
    What are WHO 6th Edition guidelines for semen analysis?
    WHO 6th Edition (2021) guidelines represent the latest international standards for evaluating male fertility. Developed by the World Health Organization, these guidelines establish updated reference ranges for sperm parameters based on recent global fertility research.
    What is considered a normal sperm count and motility?
    According to WHO 6th Edition guidelines, normal parameters include sperm concentration of at least 16 million per mL, total sperm count of at least 39 million per ejaculate, progressive motility of at least 30%, and total motility of at least 42%. At least 4% of sperm should have normal morphology based on strict Kruger criteria.
    Can semen analysis detect fertility problems?
    Yes. Semen analysis is the primary diagnostic test for identifying male fertility issues, which contribute to about 50% of infertility cases. The test can detect conditions such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, or absence of sperm.
    Should I test my sperm before trying to conceive?
    Yes. Proactive sperm testing can help identify potential fertility challenges early. Since male factors contribute to about half of fertility issues, testing before attempting conception can provide helpful insights and allow time to address potential concerns.
    How do I collect a semen sample at home?
    Collection requires 2–5 days of abstinence before testing. You will then produce a semen sample through masturbation into the provided sterile collection cup. The entire ejaculate should be collected for accurate volume measurement. Detailed instructions are included in the kit.
    How is the sample preserved during shipping?
    Mate Health uses a dual-protection system that includes a specialized semen preservation solution and active cooling technology to maintain the sample between 2–15°C during transit. This helps preserve sperm quality until the sample reaches the laboratory.
    Is the testing process private and discreet?
    Yes. The entire process is designed for privacy. Kits ship in discreet packaging, samples are collected at home, and results are delivered through a secure HIPAA-compliant online portal accessible only to you.
    Can I use HSA or FSA funds for the test?
    Yes. Mate Health semen analysis tests are typically eligible for payment using HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds since they qualify as diagnostic medical testing.
    What should I do if my results are abnormal?
    If results fall outside normal reference ranges, MateIQ provides guidance on potential next steps. Many individuals choose to consult a urologist or reproductive endocrinologist for further evaluation and treatment recommendations.
    How accurate is sperm morphology testing?
    Sperm morphology is evaluated using strict Kruger criteria by trained laboratory technicians in a certified andrology lab. This method assesses sperm structure including head, midpiece, and tail to determine whether sperm shape falls within normal reference ranges.
    Should I get comprehensive or advanced semen analysis?
    Comprehensive semen analysis is ideal for initial fertility assessment and understanding basic sperm health. Advanced semen analysis includes all standard parameters plus DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) testing and may be recommended for individuals with unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriages, or previous IVF/ICSI challenges.
    What is the difference between comprehensive and advanced semen analysis?
    The comprehensive semen analysis evaluates more than 20 standard sperm parameters such as count, motility, morphology, and semen quality. The advanced semen analysis includes all of these measurements plus DNA fragmentation testing, which evaluates sperm genetic integrity.
    How long should I abstain before the test?
    You should abstain from ejaculation for 2–5 days before collecting your sample, with approximately 3 days considered optimal for accurate semen analysis results.
    Will this test tell me if I can have a baby?
    The test provides important information about sperm health and fertility potential, but it cannot definitively predict whether conception will occur. Fertility depends on multiple factors including both partners' health, age, and timing of intercourse.
    Can lifestyle changes improve sperm health?
    Yes. Many sperm parameters can improve with lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, reducing heat exposure, improving sleep, and minimizing environmental toxin exposure.
