Just because the semen is normal does not necessarily mean that you can get pregnant, and just because it is not normal does not necessarily mean that you cannot get pregnant. The same person, not the same point in time, his semen results are also different, so how to look at the semen routine report card is very important. Clinical semen analysis report card usually has dozens of items, a huge amount of information, which items should be emphasized? And how should you look at these results? First, look at the volume of semen. A normal semen volume is 2 to 6 milliliters, and if it is less than 2 milliliters, the volume is a little low. Sometimes, even though the sperm count per milliliter is high, the total amount is too low, which must have an effect on fertility; of course, too much semen volume may also be a problem, too much semen is diluted, which also affects fertility. Second, look at the appearance. Under normal conditions, men who have regular semen discharge, semen should be milky white. If the semen is not discharged for a longer period of time, the color will be yellowish. If the color of the semen is reddish, it is blood semen, indicating that there may be blood inside. If the color of semen is very yellow, thick, there are pus cells, it indicates that there is an infection, all need to consult a doctor in time for treatment. Although there are dozens of items on the semen report card, which often confuses patients, in fact, for the layman, read the following items can be. First, look at the pH level. Under normal conditions of acidity and alkalinity, the pH value of semen is 7.2 to 8.0, with most between 7.4 and 8.0, which is weakly alkaline. If the pH value is acidic, such as below 7.0, it often suggests that the seminal vesicle glands and prostate glands may have problems; if the pH value is too high, it often suggests that there is inflammation. But from a single indicator can not be determined, but also need to carry out other auxiliary examination to confirm the diagnosis. Second, look at the liquefaction of semen. Liquefaction is a very important parameter. Why does semen liquefy? Seminal fluid contains substances that propel semen to coagulate. The process of coagulation is to maintain the sperm, so other debris can’t get in and the sperm can’t run out. Prostate fluid contains substances that promote liquefaction – hydrolyzed protease – and usually liquefies in about 15 to 20 minutes. If more than half an hour has not been liquefied, it means that the liquefaction is delayed, more than an hour does not liquefy, that is, not liquefied. Third, look at the density of sperm. Sperm density is the number of sperm per unit volume. The current reference standard for sperm density is more than 20 million/ml. Fourth, look at the sperm viability. The World Health Organization’s standard is more than 60%. Fifth, look at the sperm viability. Vitality is the ability of sperm activity, according to the activity, sperm vitality is divided into A/B/C/D, A is more than 25% or A + B is more than 50% can be. Sixth, look at the shape of the sperm. Normal sperm shape requires more than 20%. It is important to note that sperm quality is not constant and tends to fluctuate with the body’s health, so temporary semen tests that are abnormal should be performed several more times for a comprehensive assessment.
