Sperm Facts
• It takes 74 days for sperm to mature• Young men make 300,000 sperm/minute or 400 million/day• Avg. sperm count 50-120 million sperm/mL• Lower than 20-25 million/mL = infertility• Sperm count has dropped over last 60 years
– avg. 113 million/mL in 1940 – avg. 66 million/mL today– semen volume has decreased as well
Testicular cancer
• cancer of the testes• most common in males age 15-35• abnormal mass in testes• good survival rate if found early
Lance Armstrong• 1996 – diagnosed with testicular cancer• metastasized to lungs & brain• 1997 – clean bill of health• 1999 – won 1st Tour de France
vasectomy

Bulbourethral gland
Prostate gland
Seminal vesicle • 60% of semen• fructose, fibrinogen & PG’s
• 30% of semen• base, clotting enzymes & fibrinolysin
