WHAT IS IT?
A fresh sample of semen will be analysed as part of
an assessment of male fertility status. The semen sample will usually be
tested by a specialist laboratory and be evaluated for;
Semen volume, consistency and quality.
Sperm count, percentage of active sperm, sperm shape and the presence of
elements other than sperm, such as blood cells or evidence of infection.
See bottom of this page for an indication of what is normal.
WHO NEEDS IT?
Any couple concerned about their fertility should ensure that the man is
testedis . This particularly important for the following;
Men with a history of reproductive tract infections or STDs
Men concerned about exposure to environmental pollutants
Men exposed to workplace hazards
Male athletes exposed to conditions which might lower sperm counts
WHY BOTHER WITH IT?
The male partner contributes to almost half of all infertility problems
that couples face.
10-20% of all men have sperm counts below the WHO cut-off level.
2-3% of all males are completely infertile and produce no sperm at all.
A simple semen test can prevent a lot of unecessary time, investigation of
the female partner, and the associated costs.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
You can use our home screening test which is accurate and will indicate
whether the sperm count is above or below the WHO cut-off levels defining
fertility status. This is quick, private, and inexpensive test.
You can arrange a test through your doctor. This should certainly be done
if you come up negative with our home screening test. The doctors
laboratory will also be able to assess other aspects of the semen such as
sperm motility etc.
Semen Analysis - What is normal ?
volume of ejaculate 2.0 ml or more
pH 7.2-8.0
sperm concentration 20 million per ml spermatozoa or more
total sperm count 40 million per ml spermatozoa per ejaculate or more
motility 50% or more with forward progression
morphology 30% or more with normal forms
vitality 75% or more live,i.e.,excluding dye
white blood cells fewer than 1 million per ml
Semen Analysis - What terms might the doctor use ?
normozoospermia normal results as shown above
oligozoospermia sperm concentration fewer than 20 million per ml
asthenozoospermia fewer than 50% spermatozoa with forward progression
teratozoospermia fewer than 30% spermatozoa with normal morphology
oligoasthenoteratozoospermia signifies disturbance of all three variables
