Hey you guys
A DS user asked me this question so Im going to post the answer here.

Here is a "normal" semen analysis
1) Normal semen volume is 2-5 ml
2) Normal sperm concentration is greater than 20 million/ml (some suggest we should lower the "normal range" to 15 million per ml)
3) Sperm motility: Normal sperm motility is at least 50% with normal motility AND 25% of those have "rapid progressive motility"
4) Normal morphology: by strict criteria for "normal" morphology at least 10-15% should be normal.

Hope this helps
Dr O.

" Thank you so much for this! I have a question about the morphology: My husband just got the results from the SA (it was a home kit that the urologist gave us), the normal morphology was low @ 37 and the strict morphology was low at 6. What options do we have in regards to treatment for this? "
