Semen analysis results provide valuable insights into male fertility potential. Here’s a breakdown of what the findings could indicate:

1. Normal Results

• What They Indicate:

• • Healthy reproductive potential and a good chance of natural conception.
  • Normal parameters such as sperm count, motility, and morphology suggest a well-functioning reproductive system.
  • Adequate liquefaction time, pH levels, and low white blood cell count indicate a healthy seminal environment.
    
    2. Abnormal Results

Abnormal findings in one or more parameters might signal underlying reproductive health issues. Here’s what each abnormality could mean:

• Low Semen Volume (<1.5 mL): May indicate gland dysfunction, such as issues with the seminal vesicles or prostate, or potential blockages.
• Low Sperm Count (<15 million per mL): Known as oligospermia, this can reduce the likelihood of fertilization and may stem from hormonal imbalances, infections, or testicular problems.
• Poor Sperm Motility (<40% motile sperm): Referred to as asthenozoospermia, this suggests that sperm may struggle to move effectively, reducing their ability to reach and fertilize the egg.
• Abnormal Morphology (<4% normal shapes): Also called teratozoospermia, this indicates that a high percentage of sperm have abnormal shapes, potentially impacting their ability to fertilize an egg.
• Abnormal pH Levels (<7.2 or >8.0): Low pH may indicate infections, while high pH could suggest inflammation of accessory glands.
• Prolonged Liquefaction Time (>30 minutes): May signal gland dysfunction or infections that impede the semen’s ability to liquefy after ejaculation.
• Low Vitality (<58% live sperm): A high percentage of non-viable sperm (necrozoospermia) reduces fertility potential.
• High White Blood Cell Count (>1 million per mL): Suggests infections or inflammation in the reproductive tract.
• Absent Fructose: Indicates a possible blockage or absence of seminal vesicles, which can reduce the energy available for sperm motility.
