Sperm count is an important index to measure fertility, but the analysis must be combined with individual specific conditions.

1) Semen volume: normal people ejaculate 2 ~ 5m 1 at a time, and if it is less than 1m 1, it is abnormal. Every time sperm is discharged (0.5ml is azoospermia, if there is no semen, it is azoospermia. Azoospermia and azoospermia are the main causes of male infertility. Can be seen in prostate or seminal vesicle lesions, congenital ureteral occlusion or inflammatory stenosis, or retrograde nocturnal emission.

2) Color: normally grayish white, it can be light yellow, milky white or slightly green when it is not ejaculated for a long time, which is found in reproductive tract or accessory gland. Semen redness (hemospermia) is found in seminal vesiculitis, cancer, tuberculosis, etc.

3) Viscosity: Normal fresh semen is liquid, which quickly turns into a viscous peptone-like semi-fluid after discharge, and then turns into a liquid after 5-30 minutes.

If it does not liquefy for 30 minutes, it is abnormal, which can be seen in the lack or insufficiency of some enzymes secreted by the prostate, tuberculosis of the reproductive system and fertility.

4) ph value: usually weakly alkaline,

Ph value 7.7 ~

8.5 Excessive acid or alkali in semen may affect sperm activity and metabolism, which is the main cause of sperm death (azoospermia).

5) Smell: Normal semen has a special fishy smell, which is emitted by prostatic fluid, and this fishy smell comes from a component of prostatic fluid.

6) Sperm count: Men with normal fertility contain 0.6 ~/kloc-0.5 billion sperm per ml of semen, sometimes up to 200 million. The total number of sperm discharged at a time is about 300 million, but the content of sperm varies from person to person, even if the same person is at different times. Therefore, the diagnostic value of calculating the total number of sperm discharged each time is more meaningful than checking the number of sperm alone.

Too high sperm density (more than 250 million per milliliter) is called oligozoospermia, which often affects sperm activity. Even if pregnant, it is easy to miscarry, mainly because the quality of sperm itself is not high.
