Semen parameters are measures used to assess the quality of semen. Parameters commonly measured in a semen analysis test include:
- Concentration of sperm per mL of semen;
- Proportion of sperm that are motile;
- Proportion of sperm that are morphologically normal; and
- Volume of semen per ejaculation.
The World Health Organisation provides reference values against which semen analysis results can be compared.
