Question : hi . I am 29 years old male. Recently i have noted that the quantity of semen discharge in my case has been decreased considerably. Previously it was really good. I am very well aware that the quantiy of semen discharge depends on the ejaculation frequency.But i am still not satisfied by the quantity of semen discharge.

I have heard that there are some semen tests that can test the semen quantity along with the quality. and i have heard that for getting this test,the patient shouldnot ejaculate for the 5 continuous days,just to give the sample. Since its my marriagable age so i am worried. Hope u understand.

Hello.......
Thanks for your query. Semen quantity is probably the least important parameter as compared to sperm count etc. Even 2 ml semen volume is satisfactory. You can consider a complete semen analysis including semen volume after three days of abstinence from masturbation or sexual intercourse to satisfy your doubt. Wish you good health and happy married life.

Hello.....
You can contact any good laboratory like lal path labs. They would provide you a sterile container to collect semen and it is usually done by masturbation in the private area provided by laboratory. You would have to request for "Complete semen analysis" from the laboratory.
