Do you know each milliliter of semen contains millions of spermatozoa, which is known as sperm, but the majority of the volume is consists of secretions of the glands in the male reproductive organs.

Sperm is mainly used for the purpose of reproduction, as a vehicle to carry the spermatozoa into the female reproductive tract.

According to the who your normal sperm count should be:-
