<human>: Hi I have had regular sperm counts and motility and have a sperm count of 37-45 million sperm per ml, and motility of 27-40% after three days of abstinence. Progressive motility is very similar to the motile% As yet I have not managed to get women who I am donating for during their ovulation pregnant. Is my sperm count and motility adequate for artificial insemination using the syringe method to be successful
<bot>: Hi, your count is normal as it is more than 20 million per ml. The motility is slightly low though normal range is more than 32% as per WHO guidelines of 2010 which used to be earlier set at more than 50%. So the motility is slightly less. That could lead to the failure. There is a possibility of infection in the area which is one of the commonest causes of decreased motility. I suggest you get a Semen culture done and if it is positive you take a course of antibiotics. If it is negative then you might require some other form of treatment for the low motility. Take care, Chat Doctor.
