Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about the normal number of sperm in a man. Because we have been having intercourse for over a year and still haven't had a child, I had my sperm survival rate checked, and it was 42%. Is this normal? Also, how many sperm does a man need to be able to conceive? How many sperm does a man need to be able to conceive?Doctor's answer:
Normal semen volume after ejaculation is 2-6 ml, viscous, milky white, containing grayish-white clumps. Approximately 10-20 minutes later, the clumps liquefy on their own, turning into a translucent, cloudy, thin viscous fluid. The odor of semen is produced by arginine secreted by the prostate in semen, giving it a unique fishy smell. Normal sperm motility is 70% or higher, with A and slightly slower forward-moving B (A+B) >50% or A sperm >25%. Abnormal rate
