Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask what the normal reference values for semen analysis should be. Today, I had a semen test at the hospital, and one of the items was a sperm membrane antibody test. My test results were: Sperm membrane antibody IgG test 8%, Sperm membrane test (sperm low expansion method) 60%. What are the normal reference values? What should the normal reference values for semen analysis be?Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal sperm vitality rate >85-90%. If the semen test results show a semen volume of less than 2ml, sperm count of less than 6 million/ml, and sperm vitality rate below 60%, it directly affects fertility. If the test is done using the Bate's staining method, the normal value is ≥30% or higher. However, the routine semen analysis must be referenced based on other indicators, such as vitality rate, white blood cell count, and the number of motile sperm. Normal morphology should account for more than 30%.
