The semen is a combination of sperm and certain fluids that facilitate the movement of sperm from the male reproductive tract ( testicles)\u00a0 to the female reproductive tract ( fallopian tube) to reach the egg. A typical semen analysis (also known as a sperm test) evaluates three main aspects:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sperm concentration ( no. of sperms present in the semen per millimeter)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sperm motility ( percentage of sperm that are actively moving in the semen)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sperm morphology ( shape of the sperm cells)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A typical sperm concentration is defined as being no less than 15 million per milliliter, while a minimum of 50% characterizes normal motility, and normal morphology requires at least 15%. However, there are several other significant factors considered in a semen analysis\u2014such as seminal volume and its pH levels, the presence or absence of white blood cells (WBCs), and the quality of sperm motility, among others\u2014most male infertility specialists tend to focus primarily on sperm concentration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_man_with_a_low_sperm_count_make_a_woman_pregnant\"><\/span><b>Can a man with a low sperm count make a woman pregnant?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most patients with oligospermia wonder if they can make their partner pregnant with this value of sperm concentration or not.
