Dear Dr.P.T XXXXXXX
many thanks for your answer, but I'd like to ask for the count million per ml
in this report it says it should be >= 15mil/ml
is it below the average or What?

Brief Answer:
Read Detail answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.The count of 12 million /ml or above is accepted by WHO standards as for as fertilization is concerned,The sperm count bellow 10 ml/ml is considered to be as a low sperm count.(Oligospermia). and single reading below accepted range has little significance .It needs three consecutive semen analysis done at monthly interval to be labelled as Oligospermia. As such a progressive sperm count above 10-12 % is more important from the point of view effective fertilization of a female egg .
Thanks and Regards.
