Quick Summary

Sperm count refers to the number of active sperm produced by a man's body. This is a key component of a semen analysis, a laboratory examination of seminal fluid. The analysis typically includes semen volume, pH, sperm number (count), and the motility, shape, and viability of the sperm.12

Semen analysis is usually performed to investigate potential male infertility. Normal semen contains over 60 million sperm per milliliter. Infertility can be caused by a low sperm count, low motility, or a low percentage of sperm with normal form and structure.2
