Collecting sperm is a crucial step in various medical procedures and fertility treatments. The process typically begins with the individual providing a sample in a private and comfortable setting, such as a clinic or at home. Prior to collection, it’s important for the person to abstain from ejaculation for a few days to ensure a healthy sample. Various methods can be used for sperm collection, including masturbation into a sterile cup or using special condoms designed to collect semen during intercourse.
