Semen Analysis


Am I normal?

A couple met me in the surgical clinic a few weeks ago. They already got married for 5 years but didn't have any children. His wife already met O and G doctor (pakar sakit puan)..and she is okay.
So the problem could be the husband.
Eventually the husband did a check up...and one of it is the Semen Analysis.
A semen analysis is medical test that evaluates certain characteristics of a male's semen (air mani) and the sperm contained in the semen. Its a common test if a couple have problem in infertility (means no child la).

How is the test done ????
First he need to go to the hospital...
Then we will great him and explained how the test done..
We will give him 2 things: 1) a container/bottle to collect the semen 2) a magazine.
After that...he needs to go to a special room or toilet...where he needs to unzip and start masturbating. (while flipping thru the magazine)
after that he must give the "sample" ASAP..ideally within 30mins and we will check the quality of the semen and the sperm.
(he can do all this at home or office...but he must send the sample within 30min...and it must keep warm, ideally kept in his wife breast/bra).
after getting the sample ...we will check the volume, color, pH of the semen and the most important is the patients sperm count...

back to the patient..he already did the semen analysis....from the report its look acceptable..
i showed the report to my boss...here goes the conversation between me and my boss..

me: hello boss..i got 1 patient to discuss..this is a man with no child..he already did his semen analysis and it's okay...look normal...

the boss: alright..let me see the report..

me: here..

the boss: SH_T!!!!!....the sprem count is low...only 1 million..

me: hah????

i left the room puzzled...what 1 million is low????

Question..

A. 1 million (obviously this is not the answer).
B. 1 to 5 million.
C. 5 to 10 million.
D. 10 to 15 million.
E. 15 to 20 million.
F. more than 20 million (or equivalent to malaysia population).
G. 1 billion (you must be joking).

Winner will get a special prize from me...a very nice magazine...he he he ..

“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.
