Hi..The recommended abstinence period for a semen analysis is 2 to 7 days, with 3 to 5 days being ideal. This ensures an optimal balance between sperm count and motility. Shorter abstinence may reduce sperm concentration, while longer abstinence can lead to decreased motility and increased DNA fragmentation.
If the test needs to be repeated, the same abstinence period should be followed for consistency.
