What Does This Viscosity Level In The Semen Analysis Indicate?
Greetings, I have recently undergone a semen analysis test as I very strangely had experiences where the woman (one with regular periods) I got envolved with would have a quite delayed period. Everything shows up as normal in the result, the only thing which is out of the ordinary is the fact that the number given for the viscosity is 8 cm. I have seen that the normal is 0 to 2 cm. How abnomral is this and how much of a risk is it to fertility? Thanks

Hi,
The viscosity depends on abstinence of sexual exposure prior to test and amount of seminal fluid content.
Don't worry, it does not signify anything.
Number, quality and motility of sperms and the presence of pus cells is the only thing that makes a difference.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
