A member asked:
Dr my husband sperm count came as 80 million, we tested after not doing sex for 5 days doc told us test without 3 days sex, 2 more days incrse count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 days: 2-3 days of abstinence for a semen analysis is standard. Up to 5 days is still acceptable. The longer the abstinence period the lower the motility.
