A typical semen analysis evaluates key aspects of sperm health, including concentration (count) and motility (movement). However, a FlowLabs semen analysis test is much more comprehensive than most commercial labs and includes analysis of morphology (shape and structure), vitality, anti-sperm antibodies, and a range of other factors.
