2. Instructions for semen collection
1. Period of abstinence: 2-3 days
– If shorter affect volume & concentration
– If longer affect morphology & motility
2. Method co collection:
– Masturbation
– Condom: special type
– Withdrawal during intercourse
3. Time: must be examined within 1 hour
4. Temperature: if collected at home, avoid
extremes
3. Traditional WHO normal reference values
Normal
Parameter
1.5 - 5
Semen volume (ml)
20
Sperm concentration (million/ml)

Total sperm number (million/ejaculate)
50
Progressive motility (%)

Sperm morphology (Normal Forms : %)
7.2
pH
< 1
Pus cells (million/ml)

MAR/Immunobead test (%)
5. Sperm motility
• Grade A: Sperm with progressive linear motility. These are
the strongest and swim fast in a straight line.
• Grade B: Sperm with progressive non-linear motility :
These also move forward but tend to travel in a curved or
crooked motion.
• Grade C: These have non-progressive motility because they
do not move forward despite the fact that they move their
tails.
• Grade D: These are immotile and dead sperms.
Normal:
Grade A = 25 %
Grade A+B = 50 %
7. Terminology
• Oligospermia low sperm concentration < 5
• Polyzoospermia high sperm concentration, >200
• Asthenozoospermia motility
• Teratozoospermia morphology
• Oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia
• Azoospermia no spermatozoa in semen
• Aspermia – no semen volume
• Pyospermia – leukocytes present in semen, >1M/ml
• Hematospermia – red blood cell present in semen
• Necrozoospermia – “dead” sperm
8. Low (absent) semen volume
1. Collection problem: failure of ejaculation,
incomplete collection, short abstinence
2. Obstruction e.g. Congenital Bilateral Absence
of the Vas Deferens (CBAVD): PH is < 7.2 & no
fructose
3. Hypogonadism: spermatogenesis
4. Retrograde ejaculation
