Patient's question:
You can have a routine semen analysis done at the hospital, and you'll know quickly. This is recommended before trying to conceive. If you want to know if the sperm are healthy, and if you mean the quantity, it is also not favorable.Doctor's answer:
Each time a human cell divides, the mitochondria in the nucleus become shorter. Until the mitochondria shorten to the point where they can no longer divide. This means our cells can only divide 40 to 60 times. This also determines our lifespan. Even if we never get sick, we can only live to be over 100 years old. Some animals' cells can only divide about 5 times. So they can only live for about a year. The cells in the testicles that secrete sperm also have a lifespan.
