Term Description

Semen quality is expressed as total motile sperm count (VCM): volume (mL) x sperm concentration (10^6/mL) x percentage forward motility. World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for determining semen quality are as follows: normal= >40 x 10^6, moderate= 20-40 x 10^6, and poor= <20 x 10^6. Causes for decreased total motile sperm count may be medical (i.e. testicular cancer, infections, hormone imbalances, medications), environmental (i.e. pesticides, exposure to heavy metals or radiation), or lifestyle-related (i.e. alcohol abuse, smoking, age, stress).

Part Description

LP17190-7   Spermatozoa.motile
To measure motility, a simple system for grading is recommended that distinguishes spermatozoa with progressive or non-progressive motility from those that are immotile. The motility of each spermatozoon is graded as follows: Progressive motility (PR): spermatozoa moving actively, either linearly or in a large circle, regardless of speed. Non-progressive motility (NP): all other patterns of motility with an absence of progression, e.g. swimming in small circles, the flagellar force hardly displacing the head, or when only a flagellar beat can be observed.
