Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask what is the approximate normal value for sperm motility? 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. I would like to ask what is the approximate normal value for sperm motility?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, the proportion of motile sperm should be above 70%. If the motile sperm count is 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 one of 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.
