Hi,
Based on the
semen analysis report you provided, here is what each result means:
- pH 8.0: This is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of the semen. A pH of 8.0 is slightly alkaline and within the normal range.
- Volume 2.0ml: This is the total amount of semen produced during ejaculation. A volume of 2.0ml is within the normal range.
- Consistency complete liquefaction: This refers to how quickly the semen changes from a gel-like consistency to a liquid state. Complete liquefaction within 1 hour is normal.
- Color creamy: This refers to the color of the semen. A creamy color is within the normal range.
- Motility (highly motile in linear progression 5%, sluggish motility 55%, non-motile 40%): This refers to the ability of the sperm to move forward. In this case, 5% of the sperm are highly motile and move in a straight line, which is considered low. 55% of the sperm are moving, but not in a straight line, which is considered sluggish. 40% of the sperm are not moving at all.
- Morphology normal: This refers to the shape and size of the sperm. A normal morphology means that the majority of sperm have a normal shape.
-
Sperm count 50 million sperm/ml: This is the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. A count of 50 million sperm/ml is considered normal.
Overall, the semen analysis report suggests that you have a normal sperm count (50 million sperm/ml) with normal volume, consistency, color, and morphology. However, the motility is low with only 5% highly motile in a linear progression, which may impact
fertility. It is important to discuss the results with a healthcare provider to determine any potential implications for fertility and whether any further evaluation or treatment is necessary.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
