Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

Thank you for sharing the detailed semen analysis. Based on the parameters you have provided, your semen profile falls well within the normal fertile range according to the WHO (World Health Organization) 2021 standards. Here is a breakdown:

Volume:

  1. Normal: ≥ (greater than or equal to) 1.4 milliliter.

  2. Yours: 4 milliliter - Excellent.

Color and consistency: Pearly white and slightly viscous is typical of healthy semen.

Sperm concentration:

  1. Normal: ≥16 million sperm/mL (million sperm per milliliter).
  2. Yours: 74.6 million/mL - Very good.

Total sperm count (volume × concentration):

  1. Normal: ≥39 million per ejaculate.
  2. Yours: 298.4 million - Excellent.

Motility (progressive + non-progressive):

  1. Normal: ≥42 % total motile.
  2. Yours: 70 % motile - Very good.

Morphology (normal forms):

  1. Normal: ≥4 % normal forms (strict criteria).
  2. Yours: 90 % normal - Outstanding.

Your semen parameters are not just within the normal range but strongly indicative of good fertility potential. This means you are likely to be fertile, assuming no other medical, hormonal, or anatomical issues are present.

I hope this helps.

Please let us know if you have any further queries. We would be happy to answer.

Thank you.
