Male fertility
Sperm concentration is reported in million per millilitre and compared against WHO reference values, which describe what is seen in men whose partners conceived within a year — not a pass or fail line. Concentration varies considerably between samples, so a single below-range result is usually repeated after about three months.
Also known as: sperm count, sperm density
