SA after flu vaccine

October 02, 2008

Hello Dr Q!

Could you please tell me, can a flu vaccine shot or any (OTC like tylenol, ranitidine, omeprazole) influence a SA done a few days (3-4) later? (sorry if it's a childish question, I thought - better safe...) Thank you in advance. Best regards.

Additionally, can he use any lubricant (eg. preseed) for the SA sample or not? Thanks again.

I don' think the meds will affect the semen analysis. You should refrain from ejaculation at least 2 days before producing a sample. It should be produced using masturbation. Do not use any lubricants or saliva.
