Semen quality
Semen quality refers to the health and fertilizing ability of a man's semen, which contains sperm. It is assessed through factors like sperm count (the number of sperm), motility (how well sperm move), and morphology (shape and structure). Good semen quality typically means a higher chance of successful conception. Factors such as age, lifestyle, health, and environmental exposures can influence semen quality. A sperm analysis is commonly used to determine these factors, helping identify any potential fertility issues and guiding treatment options if needed.
