Can u pls explain what the below value means and what is the sperm count inferred from below value ? 2-3/ Sluggish sperm in hpf What is the normal value for pus cells and what it refers? I took the test with a 6 days gap. Would that impact semen analysis and be reason for low count? Generally what is the gap recommended for taking test? Thanks in advance

Brief Answer: further discussion Detailed Answer: Hello again The semen parameters followed in most parts of the world for reporting is by WHO standards semen count is evaluated in special counting chambers for semen Normal count is 20 million / ml your count suggests very few sperms and under the microscope in high power magnification there are only 2 to 3 sperms seen Normally all standard labs give the WBC count which should be < 1 million /ml in normal semen parameter A gap of 3 to 5 days is accepted I will suggest that you repeat the analysis in a month's time in and recheck if the count is the same Hope to have answered your query Dr Nandita Thakkar
