Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask what level of sperm motility is considered normal? My partner and I have been trying to have another baby, so we both went to the hospital for check-ups. My partner is fine, but it was found that my sperm motility is low and needs treatment for a period of time, otherwise it may lead to infertility. Could you please tell me what proportion of sperm motility is considered normal?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a sperm vitality rate of 60%-70% is considered normal. If the sperm vitality rate is below this value, it is classified as low sperm vitality. What is a normal sperm vitality rate? Within 1 hour after ejaculation, motile sperm should account for more than 70%. If motile sperm are below 50%, it is considered abnormal and is referred to as low sperm motility, also known as asthenozoospermia. If sperm have completely no motility, it is classified as necrospermia. Low sperm motility and necrospermia are among the important causes of male infertility. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital, strictly follow medical advice, actively cooperate with the doctor, and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment.
