Hello Anonymous,

I will do my best to help you. Let's begin by looking at the test that was done- sperm analysis

The most important parameters in a semen analysis are:

Concentration (often called "count") - how many sperm are in each ml of semen?
Motility - what percent of them are swimming forward?
Morphology - what percent of them are normally shaped?

The World Health Organization's 5th edition of "normal semen analysis" value for sperm concentration or count is 15,000,000/ml or more

Cutoff values for normal vary somewhat, depending on the lab and the interpreter.

Anonymous, you may want to double check with the doctor to determine what exactly he meant by 6.

Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.

Anonymous, using liquid soap during masturbation did not contribute or cause a low sperm count.

You can learn more about causes and risk factors of low sperm count by visiting the Mayo Clinic website.
