Hello Dear. In a normal semen analysis the following characteristics are seen
1. Movement- more than 50 percent of sperm must move normally an hour after ejaculation
2. PH- A pH level should be between 7.2 and 7.8 to achieve a normal result. A pH level higher than 8.0 could indicate the donor has an infection. A result less than 7.0 could indicate the specimen is contaminated or that the man’s ejaculatory ducts are blocked
3. Volume- The volume of sperm for a normal result should be greater than 2 millimeters.
4. Liquefaction- It should take 15 to 30 minutes before semen liquefies. If semen does not liquefy in 15 to 30 minutes, fertility could be affected.
5. Sperm Count- The sperm count in a normal semen analysis should be between 20 million to over 200 million.
6. Appearance- The appearance should be whitish to gray and opalescent. Semen that has a red-brown tint could indicate the presence of blood while a yellow tint could indicate jaundice or be a medication side effect.
Interpretation of your semen analysis
1. Total sperm count not seen 60-200 mil/ml- means your sperm count may not be adequate
2. Active motile not seen more than 50%- means motility may not be adequate
3. Pus cells 30-40 means there is some infection.
Kindly consult an infertility physician who may suggest you various options to get fatherhood, if you are planning to currently.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
