At least 32% of the sperm should show progressive motility. 6  A diagnosis of poor sperm motility is usually made based on the percentage of motile sperm.

What’s the average percentage of sperm that swim?

The most common way is to report the total percentage of sperm that are swimming as well as their average grade of motility. Most labs also report the percentage of cells that swim with “progressive motility” (generally considered grade 2 or higher). The latest WHO guidelines say that normal “progressive motility” is 32 percent or more.

Is the 40% motility range normal for Indian men?

The WHO did not include Indian men when doing their study. They simply said that the 40% normal sperm motile range as prescribed is for reference purpose only! and that every clinic or lab should come to a conclusion based on their own data and metrics!

How long does it take to test sperm motility?

The sample must be kept at room temperature and delivered to the facility within 30 to 60 minutes. If less than 40 percent of your sperm are motile, your considered to have low sperm motility.
