sperm morphology

Is it pregnant to get pregnant if a man has low sperm morphology? The sperm count is normal and the motility.

Hello,

I assume you mean abnormal sperm morphology. The standard semen analysis consists of the following:

Measurement of semen volume and pH
Microscopy for debris and agglutination
Assessment of sperm concentration, motility, and morphology
Sperm leukocyte count
Search for immature germ cells.

Abnormalities with the any parameter of the semen analysis can affect fertility.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
