Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
The semen test should be done after 2-3 days abstinence.
The liquefaction time,pH and other parameters as written below.
The semen test shows,the sperm count,it's motility,morphology and defects.
It also gives information about infection.
With the report,you can send it to me,as a direct question,to clear doubts.
