Patient's question:
The frozen sperm has been stored for two or three years! Will it cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Standard of Sperm Quality1. Semen Color: Normal semen appears transparent and grayish-white.
2. Semen Volume: Normal ejaculation volume for a male is 2ml to 6ml.
3. Semen Liquefaction Time: It becomes liquid within 5 to 30 minutes.
4. Sperm Density: Sperm density is also a standard for assessing semen health. A normal sperm count is over 20 million per milliliter. If it is less than 20 million/ml, it is considered oligospermia, which can affect fertility.
5. 1-Hour Survival Rate: The percentage of motile sperm within 1 hour after ejaculation should be ≥60%.
6. Sperm Motility: Sperm motility is divided into four grades:
A - Rapid linear forward movement
B - Slow forward movement
C - Localized oscillation
D - Non-motile
7. Percentage of Abnormal Sperm: Abnormal sperm are also a common cause of male infertility. If the abnormal rate exceeds 30%, it is considered abnormal and may affect fertility.
The above are common methods for assessing whether sperm quality meets standards. If abnormalities are detected, it is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment promptly.
