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.
In your case- Liquifaction time is bit slow. Rest of the parameters looks normal. Kindly consult a infertility physician and discuss about the various other ways for fatherhood in case you are not able to get child in normal way.
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
