What is the normal level of sperm motility?

Patient's question:

What is the normal level of sperm motility? What is the standard sperm quality! I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor gave me a table where it indicated that the percentage of A+B sperm was less than 50% but greater than 30%, with A sperm less than 10%. I don't understand what this means. What is the standard sperm level? What is the normal level of sperm motility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, under normal circumstances, within 1 hour of semen being expelled from the body, more than 70% of viable sperm should remain. If the sperm survival rate is too low, it is often considered that there may be the presence of necrospermia, and if the proportion of dead sperm exceeds 40%, it can affect fertility. Clinical causes include: prolonged abstinence, persistent high or low local temperature in the testicles, exposure to radiation, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, inflammatory infections in the reproductive tract, immune suppression, and conditions such as varicocele, all of which can affect sperm quality. It is recommended that you also undergo comprehensive observation and seek early medical diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment plans based on the progression of your condition.
