Semen Volume vs. Sperm Health: You Can’t Judge Sperm Health By What You See...
It is a common misconception that the volume of semen directly reflects male fertility. Many men believe that “more liquid” means stronger or healthier sperm. In reality, semen volume and sperm health are not the same thing.
Key Parameters of Sperm Health
When evaluating male fertility, specialists focus on:
- Sperm Count – the concentration of sperm within the sample.
- Motility – the ability of sperm to move effectively.
- Morphology – the shape and structure of the sperm.
- Vitality – the proportion of live versus dead sperm.
These parameters can only be assessed through laboratory analysis, not by appearance or volume.
"Sperm takes about 72–90 days to fully develop. This means that the sperm you see in a test today actually reflects your health from 3 months ago. The earlier you start TCM treatment, the more time your body has to produce healthier sperm — giving you the best chance when it matters most."
Why Many Turn to TCM After a Sperm Check?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sperm health is not just about numbers. It’s seen as a reflection of the body’s overall balance and vitality. This is why many men turn to TCM right after a sperm check, instead of waiting until problems get worse.
Here’s the common TCM supports that is widely used for male fertility:
Acupuncture
By stimulating key points, acupuncture improves blood flow to reproductive organs, regulates hormones, reduces stress, and supports overall sperm health.
Herbal Prescription
Customized herbal prescriptions are formulated to enhance sperm count, motility, and vitality. Unlike generic supplements, these formulas are tailored to each individual’s body condition.
If your sperm check shows room for improvement, don’t wait.
