How to check sperm morphology and sperm malformation rate

  The steps of strict sperm morphology examination are as follows: 1. preparation of semen smear; 2. air drying, fixation and staining of the smear; 3. reading of the film under a bright field of view with a 1000x oil microscope; 4. counting 200 sperm in each film, distinguishing normal morphology sperm from abnormal morphology sperm, and abnormal morphology sperm counting the number of various abnormal sperm; 5. normal morphology sperm; 6. abnormal morphology sperm; 7. The lower limit of the reference value of morphological sperm is 4%; 8. Don’t be too surprised when you see a sperm deformity rate of more than ninety percent, because the examination criteria are very strict; 9. Clinically, patients often ask whether a high sperm deformity rate is related to child deformity. It should be clearly stated that: the morphology of sperm is related to conception, but sperm malformation is not correlated with malformation of the offspring.
