    About this ebook

    Semen analysis can be a confusing, intimidating procedure. Patient Guide to Semen Analysis is a guidebook expressly written for male fertility patients undergoing testing.

    Presented in an easy to read "Question & Answer" format, the text covers everything from the procedure itself, to the biological foundation of fertility and the male reproductive system. Several jokes and cartoons lighten the text, and make an otherwise technical subject easy to grasp.

    The author, Dr. Jeyendran, is a leading expert in the field with numerous publications. Having worked directly with patients for over twenty-five years, he feels that sharing his medical knowledge makes the entire fertility management process easier. By knowing exactly what's involved during each step of the process, the male fertility patient and their partner will feel more at ease and capable of making the best decisions.

      About the Author

      Preface

      Your semen analysis can get complicated, and your results, confusing. Patient Guide to Semen Analysis has been written for you, the patient, so you can feel more comfortable and fully understand a sometimes confusing, perhaps intimidating, procedure.

      Dr. Jeyendran, who has been working directly in this field for over twenty years, feels that an inquisitive and properly informed patient makes the entire fertility management process easier for everyone involved. By knowing exactly what’s involved during each step of the process, you and your partner will feel self-assured and more relaxed throughout your fertility treatment regimen.

      This guidebook is a simplified, easy-to-read version of Dr. Jeyendran’s clinical manual for semen analysis interpretation. Patient Guide to Semen Analysis is presented in an accessible and handy Question & Answer format, written with you and your needs in mind: No prior medical education or experience is necessary. Several jokes and cartoons have also been added to lighten the reading and shed a humorous light on a sometimes intimidating subject.

      If you have any more questions after reading this booklet, feel free to contact the doctor himself. He’ll be pleased to answer your inquiries, and even incorporate your various comments and observations into a new edition.

      Happy reading, and may your fertility treatment prove successful!

      Acknowledgment

      The author thanks Michael Spitz for editorial assistance.

      Summary

      Patient Guide to Semen Analysis is a guidebook designed to help illustrate how this whole process works. This guide describes what your results actually mean, and how these results are related to certain problems you might be having. Should your clinician suggest any form of therapy or treatment, Dr. J.’s book will help explain how these conclusions were reached, and what they might be able to do for you and your partner.

      Without a thorough semen analysis and proper interpretation, an otherwise successful pregnancy might be delayed or even neglected.

      Author’s Disclaimer

      Importantly, you are advised to follow the recommendation of your own physician. And remember, semen analysis interpretation and physician recommendation is also based on your partner’s fertility status.

      Introduction

      Why should my semen be analyzed?

      These four reasons are typically why a patient will require a semen analysis. One or several of these factors may be relevant for you and your partner’s fertility treatment program:
