What Should Be The Normal Value For Semen Analysis?
Hi, My name is Batool. I got married in january 2014. I had been trying to concieve since six months. Then we went for fertility tests of my husband and mine too. My FSH, TH and Serum insulin reports were normal. In my husband s first semen report (gap of sexual intercourse was 5 days) the total sperm count was 8 million and the normal forms were 25% After two months we again went for my husband s semen analysis. this time the gap of sexual intercourse was 2-3 days, total sperm count was 1.9 million and normal forms were just 1%. I was very upset at that. before the second semen analysis my husban was taking Gonadil-F, but now he has stopped it. We thought that his sperm count was lower down due to the use of Gonadil-F. Please tell me why is there a huge difference between two semen analysis?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Semen analysis results can vary with the amount of semen ejaculated and the time between masturbation and analysis. This can cause a lot of difference as mentioned by you.
The normal values for semen analysis are
Appearance: normal
Volume: > or =1.5 mL
pH: > or =7.2
Motile/mL: > or =6.0 x million
Sperm/mL: > or =15.0 x million
Motility: > or =40%
Grade: > or =2.5
Motile/ejaculate: > or =9.0 million
Viscosity: > or =3.0
Agglutination: > or =3.0
Supravital: > or =58% live
Fructose: positive
