Male fertility
Morphology is assessed against strict criteria, and even in fertile men only a small percentage of sperm are perfectly formed, so a low percentage is common and often less significant than it sounds. It is one part of the overall picture and rarely a reason for treatment decisions on its own.
Also known as: teratozoospermia, sperm shape, normal forms
