In each ejaculation, the amount of semen is released about 2-5 ml, which contains 60-80 million sperm/ml. Sperm is considered healthy when over 75% of mobile, over 25% fast and over 30% have normal shapes, in semen without red blood cells and white blood cells account for less than 1 million/ml. <

Weak sperm is a decrease in sperm quality. That is when the ratio of mobile sperm is 75%lower, that is, the death rate and non -mobile is 25%higher, of which the mobile sperm is accounted for less than 50%and fast mobile accounts for less than 25%. . The amount of semen each ejaculation is less than 2ml and the number of sperm is less than 40 million is small sperm.
