What's analysed?
Semen volume
Refers to the total volume of your sample, before you added the preservative. A clinical threshold of 1.4ml is often referred to as ‘sufficient’.
Total count & concentration
Indicates the number of sperm present in the sample. "Total count" is the total number of sperm, while "concentration" is the number of sperm per milliliter. A typical healthy sperm concentration is above 16 million sperm per mL.
Progressive motility
The percentage of sperm swimming forwards in a straight line. The clinical threshold for this is 30%.
Non-progressive motility
Is the proportion of sperm that are moving but not forward and straight, i.e. they may be going backwards or in a circle or just wiggling on the spot.
Total motility
The combination of progressive and non-progressive sperm.
Immotile sperm
The proportion of sperm that are not moving at all
Vitality
Measures the proportion of sperm cells that are alive. It assesses whether the sperm membrane is intact and hence whether it is a viable sperm. Vitality focuses on viability, indicating the ability of the sperm to fertilise an egg, whereas motility focuses on the ability of the sperm to move through the female reproductive tract.
Morphology
The shape of the sperm, this includes the head, mid-piece and tail. A normal form requires all parts of the sperm to be normal in appearance. It is very common to have a very low percentage of normal forms within your sample.
