Sperm analysis among 120 fertile Filipino males aged 20-40 years

In the Philippines, there is no published data on standard normal values of sperm analysis among fertile Filipino males. This study aims to show the semen parameters of healthy fertile Filipino males aged 20-40 years. Convenience sampling was used. One hundred twenty volunteers were recruited and the semen samples were analyzed for sperm density, motility and morphology. Sperm density ranged from 17.1 to 201.6 million/ml (median 63.3 million/ml). Normal tail morphology range was 55 to 99% (median 85%). Normal tail morphology ranged from 55 to 99% (median 71.5%). These correlate with the standard set by the World Health Organization and is consistent with studies done abroad.
