hello user, as per world health organisation (WHO) the reference range of human semen PH is 7.2-8.0 . however further studies conducted by reserchers reported that many variations existed in normal population and even persons with PH 8.5-9 were able to reproduce , so a revision is asked for by researchers - and if other parametres are within normal limits then one can have fertility with this PH too - however one possibility is of having an infection especially if WBC/pus cells are present in semen which can anyways be treated with antibiotics by physician. you can consult a specialist reproductive endocrinologist for further help . hope i answered your query - if satisfied please rate the answer
