Putting it all together, one looks for the total number of "good" sperm in the sample - the
product of the total count, the progressively motile sperm and the normally shaped sperm. This
gives the progressively motile normal sperm count which is a crude index of the fertility
potential of the sperm. Thus, for example, if a man has a total count of 40 million sperm per ml;
of which 40% are progressively motile, and 60% are normally shaped; then his progressively
motile normal sperm count is : 40 X 0.40 X 0.60 = 9.6 million sperm per ml. If the volume of the
ejaculate is 3 ml, then the total motile sperm count in the entire sample is 9.6 X 3 = 28.8 million
sperm.This particular report is very abnormal. The count is only 5 million per ml and the motility
is only 5%. This infertile man will need ICSI if he wants to have a baby.
A normal sperm report is reassuring, and usually does not need to be repeated. If the semen
analysis is normal, most doctors will not even need to examine the man, since this is then
superfluous. However, remember that just because the sperm count and motility are in the
normal range, this does not necessarily mean that the man is "fertile". Even if the sperm display
normal motility, this does not always mean that they are capable of "working" and fertilising the
egg. The only foolproof way of proving whether the sperm work is by doing IVF
(in vitro fertilisation ) !
Poor sperm tests can result from incorrect semen collection technique, if the sample is not
collected properly, or if the container is dirty too long a time delay between providing the
sample and its testing in the laboratory too short an interval since the previous ejaculation
recent systemic illness in the last 3 months (even a flu or a fever can temporarily depress
sperm counts)
If the sperm test is abnormal, this will need to be repeated 3-4 times over a period of 3-6
months to confirm whether the abnormality is persistent or not . Don't jump to a conclusion
based on just one report - remember that sperm counts do tend to vary on their own ! It takes
six weeks for the testes to produce new sperm - which is why you need to wait before repeating
the test. It also makes sense to repeat it from another laboratory to ensure that the report is
valid. If you do have a low sperm count, you can read more about this at
http://issuu.com/malpani/docs/how_to_have_a_baby_chp_7
There are a number of additional sperm functions tests also available. These include: Antisperm
Antibodies Test, Semen Culture Test, Postcoital Test (PCT), Bovine Cervical Mucus Test, Sperm
Viability or Sperm Survival Test; Sperm DNA fragmentation tests; Sperm Chromatin Structure
Assay Test; Sperm FISH tests. Many of these are expensive tests, which provide information of
very little clinical use.
While they maybe of use in the research setting, they really do not answer the question the
infertile man is asking – are my sperm capable of getting my wife pregnant ? This is why we do
not ask our patients to do any of these useless tests.

  • 4. Dr. Aniruddha Malpani Dr. Anjali Malpani Malpani Infertility Clinic. Jamuna Sagar, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Colaba, Bombay 400 005. Tel: 91-22-22151065, 91-22-22151066 www.drmalpani.com Email: info@drmalpani.com Putting it all together, one looks for the total number of "good" sperm in the sample - the product of the total count, the progressively motile sperm and the normally shaped sperm. This gives the progressively motile normal sperm count which is a crude index of the fertility potential of the sperm. Thus, for example, if a man has a total count of 40 million sperm per ml; of which 40% are progressively motile, and 60% are normally shaped; then his progressively motile normal sperm count is : 40 X 0.40 X 0.60 = 9.6 million sperm per ml. If the volume of the ejaculate is 3 ml, then the total motile sperm count in the entire sample is 9.6 X 3 = 28.8 million sperm.This particular report is very abnormal. The count is only 5 million per ml and the motility is only 5%. This infertile man will need ICSI if he wants to have a baby. A normal sperm report is reassuring, and usually does not need to be repeated. If the semen analysis is normal, most doctors will not even need to examine the man, since this is then superfluous. However, remember that just because the sperm count and motility are in the normal range, this does not necessarily mean that the man is "fertile". Even if the sperm display normal motility, this does not always mean that they are capable of "working" and fertilising the egg. The only foolproof way of proving whether the sperm work is by doing IVF (in vitro fertilisation ) ! Poor sperm tests can result from incorrect semen collection technique, if the sample is not collected properly, or if the container is dirty too long a time delay between providing the sample and its testing in the laboratory too short an interval since the previous ejaculation recent systemic illness in the last 3 months (even a flu or a fever can temporarily depress sperm counts) If the sperm test is abnormal, this will need to be repeated 3-4 times over a period of 3-6 months to confirm whether the abnormality is persistent or not . Don't jump to a conclusion based on just one report - remember that sperm counts do tend to vary on their own ! It takes six weeks for the testes to produce new sperm - which is why you need to wait before repeating the test. It also makes sense to repeat it from another laboratory to ensure that the report is valid. If you do have a low sperm count, you can read more about this at http://issuu.com/malpani/docs/how_to_have_a_baby_chp_7 There are a number of additional sperm functions tests also available. These include: Antisperm Antibodies Test, Semen Culture Test, Postcoital Test (PCT), Bovine Cervical Mucus Test, Sperm Viability or Sperm Survival Test; Sperm DNA fragmentation tests; Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay Test; Sperm FISH tests. Many of these are expensive tests, which provide information of very little clinical use. While they maybe of use in the research setting, they really do not answer the question the infertile man is asking – are my sperm capable of getting my wife pregnant ? This is why we do not ask our patients to do any of these useless tests. NEED HELP WITH INTERPRETING YOUR OWN REPORT ? Dr Malpani will be happy to help .
