What is a semen analysis report?
A semen analysis report is a document that summarizes the results of your semen test, which evaluates the quality and quantity of your sperm.
Let’s break down the key components
- Sperm Concentration: The number of sperm per milliliter (mL) of semen.
- Sperm Motility: The percentage of moving sperm.
- Sperm Morphology: The shape and structure of sperm.
- Volume: The amount of semen produced.
- pH: The acidity or alkalinity of the semen.
Normal vs Abnormal results: What’s the difference?
- Normal results: Indicate healthy sperm quality and quantity.
- Abnormal results: May indicate underlying fertility issues.
Semen Analysis: Normal Ranges
Here’s what you need to know
Sperm Concentration:
- Normal: 15 million sperm/mL or more.
- Abnormal: Less than 15 million sperm/mL. (Oligospermia)
Sperm Motility:
