What are the reference values ​​for routine sperm tests?

To conceive a healthy baby requires the joint efforts of both men and women, especially in an environment where the pace of life is constantly accelerating. Many men and women are always busy with work. If you want to conceive a healthy baby, you must make adjustments before pregnancy. First of all, the quality of male sperm is very important. Once there is a problem, it is particularly easy to cause fetal malformations and poor development. Let's learn about the reference value of routine sperm examination.

What are the reference values ​​for routine sperm tests?

Color: Uniform off-white

Semen volume: If the semen volume on the 6th day after no ejaculation within 5 days reaches 3-5 ml, usually not less than 1.5 ml, it is considered normal semen volume; otherwise, it can be regarded as a decrease in semen.

pH value: 7.2 ~ 8.0

Sperm concentration: 20 × 106 / ml or more

Sperm motility: more than 75% are alive

Sperm morphology: 30% or more is normal

White blood cells: less than 1 × 106 / ml

Liquefaction time: The semen is in a gel state when it is just taken out, but it completely liquefies within 60 minutes at room temperature. Incomplete liquefaction will affect sperm motility.

Semen color and viscosity: Normal semen is grayish white and jelly-like, and usually liquefies into a transparent liquid after 10 minutes. If the semen is light yellow in color when it is first ejaculated after a long period of time (about 1 month), it is also normal.

Improvement methods

1. Pay attention to health preservation and the care of kidney essence

If men are too busy at work, they don't care about health care. But health care for men is very necessary. Men's health care needs to focus on regulating the diet structure, replenishing kidney essence and reducing the loss of kidney essence.

2. Adjust your daily routine to provide a sperm-friendly environment

Men should avoid alcohol, spicy food, jeans, saunas, etc. Men's sperm is very delicate and fragile, and its normal growth temperature needs to be 1-2℃ lower than body temperature.

3. Reduce infection and promote hygienic sex life

Young people may get infected if they have unhygienic sex or participate in sauna activities. If you have a genital tract infection, you should see a doctor immediately. If you miss the opportunity to receive treatment, it will gradually develop into a chronic genital tract infection, which will make treatment more difficult.

We all know that the quality of male sperm is directly related to their daily life. In particular, many men who smoke and drink for a long time, and often work busy in front of the computer, are particularly prone to sperm quality decline. The above is an introduction to the reference value of routine sperm examination. I hope that male friends will pay attention to it and not always think that conceiving a baby is a woman's own business. You must do a good job of examination before pregnancy.
