What the Test Tells You

• Morphology The sample is considered normal if
  more than 50 sperm have a normal appearance.
• Movement/Sperm Motility Test More than 50
  sperm moving normally after an hour of collection
  indicates a normal sample.
•  pH The pH should be between 7.2 and 7.8 for a
  normal sample. Reduced or increased pH values
  indicate infections or structural blockage of the
  ducts which carry sperm in the male body.
• Volume A volume of greater than 2ml is
  considered normal. Low volumes indicate a low
  sperm count.
•  Sperm count The normal sperm count is between
  20 million to 200 million per milliliter of
  semen.
• Appearance The normal appearance of semen is
  whitish and opaque.
