Key Sperm Health Parameters
Sperm motility
The level of sperm motility is an important factor for the efficient movement in the female reproductive tract.
Motility is divided into three categories:
- Progressive motility (PR) – forward movement
- Non-progressive motility (NP) – local motility (circular movement)
- Immotile – no movement at all
Sperm concentration
Sperm concentration or sperm count provide prognostic and diagnostic information: It shows the amount of sperm released during sexual intercourse. This allows the determination of sperm production; sperm reserves in the epididymis as well as the patency of the sperm duct system.
