Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sperm count of 15 million per milliliter of seminal fluid and ejaculation volume of less than 1.2 cc indicate a likely fertility problem. The minimum sperm count that is considered normal is 20 million per milliliter of seminal fluid. A volume less than 1.50 cc decreases fertility. Sperm motility must be at least 60%, and the sperm progressive motility must be at least 25%.
