Summary
Patient Guide to Semen Analysis is a guidebook designed to help illustrate how this whole process works. This guide describes what your results actually mean, and how these results are related to certain problems you might be having. Should your clinician suggest any form of therapy or treatment, Dr. J.’s book will help explain how these conclusions were reached, and what they might be able to do for you and your partner.
Without a thorough semen analysis and proper interpretation, an otherwise successful pregnancy might be delayed or even neglected.
