Semen analysis for fertility and post-vasectomy

Andrology is a specialist area involving men’s health, including fertility issues and sexual dysfunction.

At SWLP we offer a dedicated andrology service at Croydon University Hospital, which provides semen testing for patients in Croydon, covering:

  • semen analysis as part of a routine infertility investigation 
  • post-vasectomy semen analysis to check the success of a vasectomy operation.

Appointments can be booked by calling 0208 401 3000, ext 5560 between 09:00 and 17:00. Samples are taken in our private sample collection room.

Semen test results will be communicated to your doctor within five working days.
