<s>[INST] I did a sperm counting, did not get results yet, but they only told me to wait 3 day's, i did not know about the "not more than 7 day's" part, how will that affect the test results? it was more than 7 days. thank you. I am 32 years old, 1.75m long and weigh 70kg. We have only one child so far. After a visit to a urologist I was diagnosed with a varicocele witch was fixed in January. I went back for a sperm count yesterday. I did not have relations for 9 days, I was told it must not be more than 7 days, would this affect the test? [/INST] Hi, Semen analysis reporting, usually done on the same day - both automated and manual. Enquire other labs in your area. Varicocele surgery will help you in improving your sex life. Not much effect on semen. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist </s>
