When there are abnormalities in routine semen examinations, doctors sometimes ask patients to do semen bacteriological examinations. When infection occurs in the male reproductive system, it can cause changes in semen quality, such as semen volume, semen pH value, liquefaction time and sperm survival rate. There are more than 30 kinds of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Semen infection may be an important cause of male infertility. Therefore, when abnormalities occur in semen examination, it is necessary to conduct semen bacteriological examination to help diagnosis and treatment. When bacteriological examination is required, semen specimens are collected in sterile cups.
In qualified hospitals, doctors will also ask patients to conduct semen biochemical tests. Biochemical examination of semen is a simple method to determine the secretory function of accessory glands. Including fructose, zinc, acid phosphatase and carnitine, etc. Fructose is mainly derived from the secretion of the seminal vesicles and provides the energy required for sperm activity. Fructose absence or reduced content is seen in congenital absence of seminal vesicles and seminal vesiculitis. It is difficult to conceive when fructose is insufficient. The prostate contains high concentrations of zinc and acid phosphatase, and the epididymis contains high concentrations of carnitine. They are all related to sperm function. When inflammation occurs in the prostate and epididymis, their contents will decrease, thus affecting fertility.
