We have always said that knowledge is power, and to be educated puts you in control of your fertility journey. The most important examination for men is analysis of the seminal fluid. Here the ability of the sperm to move and how many sperm are produced per ml are measured. Lifestyle, habits, and medical conditions can have an impact on male fertility, and you can read all about it here.

That’s why making a home sperm test can be a useful tool for you to be aware of your body. Although it won’t give you a diagnosis, It can give you a hint that you need to make adjustments to your lifestyle or even let you know that there might be a medical condition so you can look for medical help sooner.

Aside from having the information early in your journey, another benefit is that making this test at home can be way more comfortable. The collection of semen is usually made by masturbation. Men often report feeling more relaxed doing it at home as opposed to in a clinical environment.

There are several home sperm tests in the market, but according to NHS, a sperm test should measure at least concentration (also called “count”) and motility, so this should be one of the characteristics you want in your home-testing kit.
