18
Q

Semen Analysis

A

Appearance
Liquefaction
Volume
Viscosity
pH
Sperm Concentration
Sperm Count

19
Q

Normal Semen Appearance

A

Grey-white color
Translucent
Characteristic musty odor

20
Q

Increased White turbidity

A

Infection within reproductive tract

21
Q

Red Color in Semen

A

Is abnormal and from RBCs

22
Q

Yellow Color to Semen

A

May be caused by urine contamination
Specimen collection after prolonged abstinence
Medications

23
Q

Urine issues with sperm

A

Toxic

24
Q

Semen Liquefaction

A

Fresh sample is clotted and should liquefy in about 30 to 60 minutes

25
Q

Failure to Liquefy

A

Caused by deficiency in prostatic enzymes and should be reported

26
Q

If still not liquid after 2 hrs

A

An equal volume of Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline or proteolytic enzymes (alpha-chymotrypsin or bromelain) may be added
(These may affect biochemical tests)

27
Q

Normal Semen Volume

A

2 and 5 mL

28
Q

Increased Semen Volumes

A

Seen after periods of extended abstinence

29
Q

Decreased Semen volume

A

Associated more frequently with infertility
- indicates improper functioning of one of the semen-producing organs (primarily seminal vesicles)

30
Q

Normal Semen Viscosity

A

Small discrete droplets that do not appear clumped or stringy when falling from pipette

31
Q

Normal Semen pH

A

Measured within 1 hour of ejaculation
7.2 to 8.0

32
Q

Increased Semen pH

A

Indicates infection within the reproductive tract

33
Q

Decreased Semen pH

A

Increased prostatic fluid
Obstruction of ejaculatory duct
Poorly developed seminal vesicles

34
Q

Normal Sperm Concentration

A

Greater than 20 to 250 million sperm per mL

35
Q

Sperm Motility

A

Determined by using a slide and looking under the scope for movement in a certain number of fields
- Progressive motility
- Nonprogressive motility
- Immotility

36
Q

Progressive motility

A

Sperm moving linearly or in a large circle

37
Q

Nonprogressive motility

A

Sperm moving with an absence of progression

38
Q

Immotility

A

No movement

39
Q

Semen Morphology

A

Must be noted as well
Normal is oval shaped head with a long, flagellar tail
Acrosomal cap located on tip of head should encompass approximately half of the head
