Suggest The Adequate Count And Mobility For Sperm For Artificial Insemination

Hi I have had regular sperm counts and motility and have a sperm count of 37-45 million sperm per ml, and motility of 27-40% after three days of abstinence. Progressive motility is very similar to the motile% As yet I have not managed to get women who I am donating for during their ovulation pregnant. Is my sperm count and motility adequate for artificial insemination using the syringe method to be successful

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, your count is normal as it is more than 20 million per ml.
The motility is slightly low though normal range is more than 32% as per WHO guidelines of 2010 which used to be earlier set at more than 50%. So the motility is slightly less. That could lead to the failure.
There is a possibility of infection in the area which is one of the commonest causes of decreased motility.
I suggest you get a Semen culture done and if it is positive you take a course of antibiotics.
If it is negative then you might require some other form of treatment for the low motility.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
