Average sperm count information


Because a lot of people have asked about this and I came across it.

"Normal" sperm count, as defined by the World Health Organization, is characterized by:

* The concentration of spermatozoa should be at least 20 million per ml.
* The total volume of semen should be at least 2ml.
* The total number of spermatozoa in the ejaculate should be at least 40 million.
* At least 75 per cent of the spermatozoa should be alive (it is normal for up to 25 per cent to be dead).
* At least 30 per cent of the spermatozoa should be of normal shape and form.
* At least 25 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming with rapid forward movement.
* At least 50 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming forward, even if only sluggishly.

These numbers amount to averages; Having a sperm count below these numbers does not guarantee that a man will be unable to father a child; likewise, having a sperm count higher than these numbers does not guarantee that a man will be able to father a child.
