Seminal Analysis and Evaluation (SE)

The patient will be required to collect his specimen via masturbation in a clean container provided by the lab. The patient should abstain from sexual activity for 2-7 days prior to specimen collection and take note of the time the specimen is collected, number of days of abstinence from sexual activity and if any spillage occurred. The cut-off time for the specimen to be received by the lab is as follows:
Mondays – Fridays: Up to 12.30pm;
Saturdays: Up to 11am
