Total number

check icon Optimal Result: 39 - 928 Units.

The "total number" in a semen analysis typically refers to the total sperm count, which is a crucial parameter in assessing male fertility. The total sperm count represents the total number of sperm present in one ejaculate of semen.

Normal Range: A normal total sperm count is typically considered to be 39 million sperm per ejaculate or more. This count takes into account the total number of sperm, regardless of their motility (ability to move) or morphology (shape).

It's important to note that while a total sperm count is an important factor in assessing fertility, it is just one of several parameters evaluated during a semen analysis. Other factors, such as sperm motility, sperm morphology, and semen volume, also play significant roles in determining male fertility potential.

The total sperm count provides valuable information about a man's ability to fertilize an egg. If the count falls within the normal range and other parameters are also favorable, it suggests a higher likelihood of fertility. However, if the total sperm count is below the normal range, it may indicate potential fertility issues, and further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying causes.

What does it mean if your Total number result is too low?

If the total sperm count is low (a condition known as oligospermia), it can significantly impact male fertility. Low sperm count is one of the factors that can contribute to difficulties in conceiving a child. Here are some steps and considerations if you have a low sperm count:

→ Consult a Healthcare Professional: If you suspect a low sperm count, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or reproductive endocrinologist, who specializes in fertility issues. They can perform a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of the low sperm count.

→ Identify the Underlying Cause: Low sperm count can have various causes, including medical conditions, lifestyle factors, hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and more. Identifying the specific cause is crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment.

→ Lifestyle Modifications: In some cases, lifestyle changes can help improve sperm count. These may include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding excessive heat exposure to the testicles.

→ Medications: Depending on the underlying cause, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to address hormonal imbalances or infections that could be contributing to the low sperm count.

→ Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): If conservative treatments do not yield significant improvements, you may explore assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). These methods can help achieve pregnancy even with a low sperm count.

→ Surgery: In some cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to correct conditions like varicoceles or blocked sperm ducts that are causing the low sperm count.

→ Counseling and Support: Fertility challenges can be emotionally challenging. Seeking counseling and support, either individually or as a couple, can be beneficial in dealing with the stress and emotions associated with infertility.

It's crucial to remember that the treatment approach for low sperm count should be personalized based on the specific diagnosis and underlying causes. Therefore, working closely with a healthcare provider who specializes in fertility is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

What Healthmatters Members Are Saying

5 stars rating

I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with  any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.
