LOINC description : Semen quality is expressed as total motile sperm count (VCM): volume (mL) x sperm
concentration (10 6/mL) x percentage forward motility. World Health Organization (WHO)
guidelines for determining semen quality are as follows: normal 40 x 10 6, moderate
20-40 x 10 6, and poor 20 x 10 6. Causes for decreased total motile sperm count
may be medical (i.e. testicular cancer, infections, hormone imbalances, medications),
environmental (i.e. pesticides, exposure to heavy metals or radiation), or lifestyle-related
(i.e. alcohol abuse, smoking, age, stress).;
