Semen Analysis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to healthcare Magic.

I have gone through your query and Would like to reply in detail as follows:

1. It is possible for diabetic to have children.

2. All he has to do is get a semen analysis done.

3. If semen analysis is fine, there is nothing to worry. Get semen analysis done in a standard laboratory.

4. Since you already had a baby, it should not be difficult to conceive considering his semen analysis to be normal.

I hope your doubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.

Brief Answer:
Cost

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can see from your location that you are based in USA. If yes, the cost of the semen analysis vary from clinic to clinic. On an average it costs around 25$ to 35$. But some clinics may even charge upto 100$. You need to look around for clinic in your place which suits you and you trust it.
