Modern people not only face a sharp increase in work and life pressure, but also a significant increase in the pressure of childbirth. Many young people try to have children, but often fail. To find the reason, not only the woman needs to undergo physical examination, but also the man needs to undergo examination at the same time. The most important inspection item among them is the examination of sperm quality. So, how to understand the results of sperm quality check? Today, the editor will teach everyone.
How to understand sperm test results
Most hospitals in our country conduct examinations according to international standards, and the results of sperm motility tests are clearly defined. Sperm with motility is usually classified as motile, while sperm with forward movement ability is calculated as a percentage. During the examination, males are required to abstain from sexual activity for 3-7 days before masturbating to obtain sperm. After continuous semen routine analysis for more than 3 times, it is suggested that the forward movement (a+b level) of sperm is less than 50% or the rapid linear forward movement of sperm is less than 25%, with a sperm density of 20-106/mL. If other parameters are normal or basically normal, it can be diagnosed as asthenozoospermia. If the sperm motility is less than 50% one hour after ejaculation, and laboratory or other auxiliary examinations can detect reproductive tract infections or other diseases that affect sperm motility, it can be diagnosed as asthenozoospermia.
What factors affect the results of sperm quality inspection
1. The specimen collection time should be abstinence for at least 2 days and no more than 7 days. If it is necessary to review the number of days of abstinence each time, it should be kept as constant as possible. Abstinence refers to the cessation of sexual activity and the prohibition of masturbation, nocturnal emissions, and other conditions. The duration of abstinence affects sperm density, but the vitality of sperm is not affected by the length of abstinence.
2. Is the sample collection complete. During ejaculation, the anterior part is rich in sperm, while the posterior part is mainly composed of secretions from the seminal vesicles. Therefore, the loss of semen in the anterior part has a greater impact on semen analysis results than in the posterior part. If lost, this inspection will be invalidated and should be collected and retested after 2-7 days of abstinence.
3. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided before collecting semen, and medications that may affect sperm production should be avoided.
4. It should be noted that a single semen test result cannot determine sperm quality, and conclusions should not be drawn based solely on a single indicator. A comprehensive analysis should be conducted. For those who pass the first semen examination, their semen quality can be considered normal, while those who fail the first examination must have their semen rechecked 1-2 times within 2-3 weeks, and make a judgment based on the comprehensive analysis of several results.
After reading the above content, I believe male friends have gained some understanding of the results of sperm tests. In order to have healthy children, male friends should not only improve their lifestyle habits, quit smoking and drinking, but also avoid excessive exposure to chemical agents to prevent the quality of sperm from being affected. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent male diseases and avoid endangering fertility.
