What percentage of abnormal sperm is considered normal?

Patient's question:

What percentage of abnormal sperm is considered normal? Normal sperm morphology percentage: 4. Abnormal sperm head percentage: 95. Abnormal sperm midpiece percentage: 26. Abnormal sperm tail percentage: 9. Are these data normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, abnormal sperm also exist in normal semen, generally accounting for a percentage lower than 30%. If the percentage of abnormal sperm is higher than 50%, it is referred to as high abnormal sperm rate, which can lead to infertility. Based on the cause of abnormal sperm, unfavorable factors (such as drugs, radiation, high temperature, alcohol, etc.) should be eliminated, and treatment should be targeted at the root cause. For those caused by reproductive tract infections, anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered. For those resulting from endocrine abnormalities, endocrine function adjustment should be provided. For varicocele, surgical treatment should be considered. High abnormal sperm count cannot help you conceive. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment at a formal infertility and subfertility specialty hospital, follow the doctor's advice, actively cooperate with the treatment, and avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment.
