Hello doctor! Recently, I went to have a semen analysis, and the pH in my semen was 7. So the doctor asked me if the pH in the semen was 7 and needed treatment or not? And if so, with what treatment? Is there a method that does not require the use of antibiotics? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you!

Answer
Hello. With the question: "Does the pH in semen 7 need treatment?" Please consult your doctor as follows:
pH is used as a scale to determine how acidic or basic (alkaline) a solution is, ranging from 0 to 14. If the solution has a pH equal to 7 is neutral, above 7 is alkaline and below 7 is acidic. So, as the pH value decreases, the acidity increases and vice versa.
In my case, the pH in the semen is 7 and there is no need for any treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
