Question : what is the best test to measure sperm mortality

Answered by Dr. Aaron Branch (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
The best test to determine sperm motility

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I am assuming that you meant to ask about sperm motility; if that is not correct, please let me know. The typical test for assessing sperm motility, as well as the key laboratory assessment of male infertility, would be a sperm analysis, which looks at sperm volume and pH, as well as sperm concentration, count, motility, shape, and other factors. This is done under a microscope, and as I mentioned, is the main way to determine if the cause for infertility is likely due to any problems with the sperm or not.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.

Regards
