When you get the result, there will be a column which mentions the cut off for normal semen analysis.
The results are to be interpreted with caution. The values provide information on the distribution of results from men in couples having a natural conception within one year of trying (time to pregnancy within12 months). The lower fifth percentile represents the level under which only results from 5% of the men in the reference population were found. This can be of help to interpret results from an individual patient.
Here are the current World Health Organization lower reference values for a normal semen analysis (WHO 6th edition, 2021):
Semen Parameter Lower Reference Limit
Semen volume 1.4 mL
Total sperm number 39 million per ejaculate
Sperm concentration 16 million/mL
Total motility 42%
Progressive motility 30%
Normal morphology 4% normal forms
Vitality 54% live spermatozoa
Semen pH ≥ 7.2
Leukocytes < 1 million/mL

- The laboratory provides you a clean container in which you have to collect the semen.
- The laboratory provides you a private room with wash room facility, close to the laboratory where you can collect your semen.
The method of collection is by masturbation. The ejaculate needs to be completely collected, and you should report any loss of any fraction of the sample. - The start of examination of the sample usually begins in 30 minutes from the time of collection of the sample.
- If anyone, for any reason must collect the ejaculate at another place, the specimen container should be kept close to the body under the clothes – for instance, in the armpit – during transport and should be delivered to the laboratory preferably within 30 minutes after collection and at least no longer than 50 minutes after collection.

You can get it done from a standardised andrology laboratory attached to dedicated fertility/andrology clinic or a standardised laboratory with andrology facilities.
You will get the most reliable test from NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) laboratories.
It is recommended to choose laboratories which provide detailed analysis of macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of your semen rather than laboratories which rely on quicker, cheaper and unstandardised reporting methods

A sperm count or semen analysis test measures a man's sperm's general health and viability. Semen is the ejaculated organic fluid containing sperm cells. This test measures the amount of semen, its characteristics, the concentration of sperm in the semen, their motility and morphology.
This test is used to screen infertile couples. Semen analysis is used to determine the success of a vasectomy also.
