After checking your semen routine test, you must be eager to know how your sperm quality is. Today we will give you a brief look at routine semen. First, let’s look at the reference values for routine semen analysis (WHO manual, 5th edition): semen volume ≥ 1.5ml; pH ≥ 7.2; sperm concentration ≥ 15×106/ml; total sperm count ≥ 39×106/1 ejaculation; sperm forward motion percentage ≥ 32%; normal morphology rate ≥ 4%; sperm survival rate ≥ 58%; leukocytes < 1×106/ml. in fact, the It is not necessary for everyone to compare one against the other. In fact, it is not necessary to compare them one by one. In clinical practice, we are more concerned about the absolute value of forward-moving sperm and sperm malformation rate, as well as the sperm DNA fragmentation index. So you can just learn to look at these indicators. How to look at them? Calculation of the absolute number of forward motion sperm: semen volume x sperm concentration x percent forward motion. If this number is greater than 20x106, it is basically normal. A sperm abnormality rate <96% is considered normal. Sometimes people feel scared when they see that their sperm deformation rate is greater than 90%, but in fact, many people around you are similar to you. Sperm forward motion and sperm malformation rate are both external manifestations of sperm. As the saying goes, you can't just look at people by their appearance, and by the same token, the same is true for judging sperm quality. Thus, there is a sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) as an indicator. A sperm DFI ≤ 15% is normal. Exceeding this threshold indicates increased sperm DNA fragmentation that will affect fertilization and embryonic development potential. By getting the report later, you will be able to quickly determine your sperm quality and if there are any abnormal items, come to the clinic for treatment as soon as possible.
