Abstract:

The accuracy and reliability of semen analysis results affect the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. Therefore,the clinical laboratories should pay attention to the standardized detection of semen. The standardization of semen analysis is reflected not only in the reasonable and scientific methodology,but also in the collection of semen samples,the name of detection items and specific operation details of each detection item. In the lack of specified institutions for the external quality assessment of semen analysis at present,it is necessary to establish the appropriate intra-laboratory quality control measures. With the continuous popularization of the automation of semen analysis and the optimization of instrument settings,the standardization of semen analysis will be easier to be implemented,and education,training and quality control will be important measures to ensure that all clinical laboratories carry out the standardized detection of semen samples and maintain the long-term stability of detection results.

Key words: Semen analysis, Standardization, Quality control
