What this test measures

A PVSA checks a semen sample for sperm. The lab looks at a fresh sample under the microscope and, if needed, centrifuges it to look for rare sperm. The goal is azoospermia (no sperm) or only rare, non-motile sperm.

Parameters reported

How to prepare

  • Wait about 12 weeks and 20 or more ejaculations after your vasectomy. Testing sooner usually shows leftover sperm and you'll be asked to retest.
  • Abstain 2–7 days before the sample so there is enough volume to examine.
  • Do not use lubricants, saliva, or spermicide condoms during collection.
  • Collect the whole sample. If the lab allows at-home collection, deliver it within 60 minutes at body temperature — confirm when you book.
  • Bring your Hera lab order and a photo ID.
