Understanding Your Semen Analysis
What each parameter means and how it affects fertility
A semen analysis is the most important initial test for male fertility. It measures multiple parameters that together reflect the ability of sperm to fertilise an egg. The WHO 2021 reference values are the most current standards.
Why Morphology Matters
Sperm morphology (shape) is assessed using Kruger strict criteria. Even in fertile men, only 4–14% of sperm have completely normal morphology. Low morphology (teratozoospermia) is associated with reduced natural conception but ICSI can overcome most morphology problems.
What to Do If Results Are Abnormal
Repeat after 3 months of lifestyle changes. A second abnormal result warrants specialist referral. Treatable causes include varicocele, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle factors. ICSI achieves high fertilisation rates even with severe oligospermia.
మీ Semen Analysis అర్థం ఏమిటి?
ప్రతి parameter అర్థం మరియు అది fertility ని ఎలా affect చేస్తుంది
Semen analysis అనేది male fertility కి అత్యంత important initial test. ఇది sperm egg ని fertilise చేయగలిగే ability reflect చేసే multiple parameters measure చేస్తుంది. WHO 2021 reference values most current standards.
Morphology ఎందుకు Important?
Sperm morphology (shape) Kruger strict criteria ఉపయోగించి assess చేస్తారు. Fertile men లో కూడా 4–14% sperm మాత్రమే completely normal morphology కలిగి ఉంటాయి. Low morphology ICSI ద్వారా overcome అవుతుంది.
Results Abnormal అయితే ఏమి చేయాలి?
3 నెలల lifestyle changes తర్వాత repeat చేయించుకోండి. రెండవ abnormal result కి specialist referral అవసరం. Treatable causes: varicocele, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle. Severe oligospermia తో కూడా ICSI high fertilisation rates achieve చేస్తుంది.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the WHO 2021 normal semen analysis values?
WHO 2021 lower reference limits: Volume ≥1.4 mL, Sperm concentration ≥16 million/mL, Total motility ≥42%, Progressive motility ≥30%, Morphology ≥4%, Total sperm count ≥39 million per ejaculate.
What is oligozoospermia?
Oligozoospermia is low sperm concentration — below 16 million/mL. Mild: 10–15 M/mL. Moderate: 5–10 M/mL. Severe: <5 M/mL. Causes include varicocele, hormonal imbalances, testicular infections, and genetic factors.
When is ICSI recommended?
ICSI is recommended when: sperm concentration is below 5 million/mL, progressive motility is below 20%, morphology is below 1–2%, or surgical sperm retrieval (PESA/TESA) is needed. ICSI injects a single sperm directly into each egg.
What does DNA fragmentation index (DFI) mean?
DFI measures the percentage of sperm with damaged DNA. Normal: <15%. Borderline: 15–25%. High: >25%. High DFI is associated with recurrent miscarriage and failed IVF. Antioxidants and varicocele repair can reduce DFI.
How long should I abstain before semen analysis?
WHO recommends 2–7 days of abstinence. For a reliable result, abstain for 3–4 days exactly. The sample should be delivered within 30–60 minutes at body temperature.
Can a poor semen analysis be improved?
Yes. Quit smoking, reduce alcohol, maintain healthy BMI, avoid hot baths, take antioxidant supplements (CoQ10, Vitamin C/E, selenium, zinc, folic acid), treat varicocele. A repeat after 3 months often shows improvement. Call Mother Hospitals: 97059 93366.

WHO 2021 normal semen analysis values ఏమిటి?
WHO 2021 lower reference limits: Volume ≥1.4 mL, Sperm concentration ≥16 million/mL, Total motility ≥42%, Progressive motility ≥30%, Morphology ≥4%, Total sperm count ≥39 million per ejaculate.
Oligozoospermia అంటే ఏమిటి?
Oligozoospermia అంటే తక్కువ sperm concentration — 16 million/mL కంటే తక్కువ. Mild: 10–15 M/mL. Moderate: 5–10 M/mL. Severe: <5 M/mL. Causes: varicocele, hormonal imbalances, testicular infections, genetic factors.
ICSI ఎప్పుడు recommend చేస్తారు?
Sperm concentration 5 million/mL కంటే తక్కువ, progressive motility 20% కంటే తక్కువ, morphology 1–2% కంటే తక్కువ, లేదా surgical sperm retrieval (PESA/TESA) అవసరమైనప్పుడు ICSI recommend చేస్తారు. ICSI ప్రతి egg లోకి ఒక single sperm inject చేస్తుంది.
DNA fragmentation index (DFI) అంటే ఏమిటి?
DFI అనేది damaged DNA ఉన్న sperm percentage measure చేస్తుంది. Normal: <15%. Borderline: 15–25%. High: >25%. High DFI recurrent miscarriage మరియు failed IVF తో associated గా ఉంటుంది. Antioxidants మరియు varicocele repair DFI తగ్గించవచ్చు.
Semen analysis ముందు ఎంత రోజులు abstain చేయాలి?
WHO 2–7 రోజులు abstinence recommend చేస్తుంది. Reliable result కోసం exactly 3–4 రోజులు. Sample body temperature లో 30–60 నిమిషాల్లో deliver చేయాలి.
Poor semen analysis improve అవుతుందా?
అవుతుంది. Smoking quit చేయండి, alcohol తగ్గించుకోండి, healthy BMI maintain చేయండి, hot baths avoid చేయండి, antioxidant supplements తీసుకోండి (CoQ10, Vitamin C/E, selenium, zinc, folic acid), varicocele treat చేయించుకోండి. 3 నెలల తర్వాత repeat లో improvement కనిపిస్తుంది. Call: 97059 93366.
