What is the normal value of semen?

Semen quality is the most critical issue in measuring whether a man is qualified to be a father. Now many couples have realized the importance of fertility, so they actively go to the hospital for pregnancy preparation before having children. However, many people, including some men, do not know much about the normal values ​​of semen. Let me introduce you to the knowledge about the normal values ​​of semen!

The World Health Organization has established normal values ​​for male semen

Normal values ​​of routine semen examination items

Semen volume more than 2 ml

PH value 7.2-8.0

Sperm density is more than 20 million/ml

Normal form 30% or more

More than half of the respondents were at level 3 in vitality

Liquefaction time: within 30 minutes

Doctors often ask men to do semen tests to identify male fertility. Normal semen color is grayish white or milky white. If the patient has abstinence for a long time, it may be light yellow. If it is bright red or dark red, it indicates that the patient has inflammation or reproductive tract damage. The amount of semen discharged each time is 2~6 ml, which is often affected by the number and frequency of ejaculation. Fresh semen is thick and jelly-like. It should liquefy into a thin liquid within 1 hour. Use a small glass rod to insert into the semen and then lift it up. The length of the semen thread formed is generally not more than 2 cm, otherwise it is considered abnormal. Semen is weakly alkaline, with a pH value of 7.2~7.8. The normal sperm count should exceed 20 million/ml. The active sperm within 1 hour after ejaculation is >=50%. The World Health Organization recommends that sperm motility be divided into four levels: Level 0: inactive; Level 1: sperm wiggling in place; Level 2: moderate forward movement; Level 3: active forward movement, fast linear movement. Normal sperm motility is 2~3 level sperm>=40%~50%. Sperm morphology: less than 50% of sperm are deformed. Analysis of male fertility cannot be determined from a single indicator of semen. A comprehensive capacity analysis should be conducted on sperm quantity, motility, activity rate, liquefaction time, deformity rate and other aspects.

The above is some introduction about the normal semen values. These values ​​are relatively professional and most people may not understand them. If you go to a regular professional hospital for examination, most doctors will tell you the normal semen values. Only when the semen reaches the standard level can conception be possible.
