What Is The Minimum Percentage In Semen Analysis That Is Considered Normal?
Hi Doctor,
I and my wife are trying since 2 years for a baby. She had a miscarriage(55 days fetus) after 6 months of marriage.
Later she had PCOD issue which was taken care by few tablets for 4+ months. After 4 months I was tested (SA) and scrotum scan.
The results of Semen Analysis (which was not a good result)
Volume: 2ml
Count: 14million/ml
Motility:
1/2hr---> Active:70% Sluggishly:20% Non-motile:10%
1 hr----> Active:65% Sluggishly:20% Non-motile:15%
2hr-----> Active:60% Sluggishly:20% Non-motile:20%
Morphology : 10% Normal and 90% Abnormal
Scrotum scan results were normal.
I went through many posts in this forum about Fertyl-M and Mazoza-L powder. I have been taking this past 3 months.
My doctor suggested me to do a semen analysis after completing 3 months which I have done and waiting for result.
Before I see the results, wanted to know about the normal numbers for count/motility/morphology.
Since my count and morphology had a bad number I am more looking for these results.
What would be the minimal % which I can take as normal?
Will these drugs useful to increase morphology?

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
As you already know that your semen analysis result is poor for sperm count and morphology. You want to know about the normal values:
Sperm count should be more than 20 million/ml
More than 50% of the sperms should be actively forward motile after 1 hour(your's is normal)
More than 30% of sperms should have normal morphology (Kruger criteria: More than 14% of the sperm have a normal shape).
Fertyl-m tablets definitely help to increase the sperm count.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
