Dr Suks Minhas explains that any physician can refer for a semen analysis, and that the semen sample should be produced on site or delivered within 1 hour.

Semen analysis can be arranged by any physician, and the patient is usually sent to a lab. There's an abstinence period of two to five days, and ideally, the sample should be given on-site. If the patient is not going to give the sample on-site, then it should be delivered to the lab within one hour.
