Patient's question:
Hello doctor, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor told me that my sperm abnormality value had exceeded the normal range. He said it was 40%. Is that really high? I would like to know what the normal range for sperm abnormality rate is approximately. What level of sperm abnormality rate would allow my wife to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:According to the fifth edition of WHO's semen standards, as long as the abnormal sperm rate does not exceed 96%, it is considered normal. In other words, as long as 4% of the sperm have normal morphology, it is considered normal.
Recommendations:
During the development and maturation process of sperm, it is inevitable for there to be defects in the head or tail. However, these defects do not necessarily affect fertility. It is recommended to avoid smoking, wear loose pants to maintain good heat dissipation of the scrotum, and reduce alcohol and cola consumption, which can help lower the abnormal sperm rate.
