Preparing for your test

- Some blood tests require fasting — the lab will tell you if yours does
- Urine and stool samples should be collected in a clean container from the lab
- Semen analysis usually requires a short period of abstinence beforehand — ask the lab for exact instructions
- Keep taking your regular medicines unless your doctor tells you otherwise
