Hi,

The semen analysis varies from time to time.
The values may get altered if there is viral fever or certain drugs
intake stress etc.
As far as the values are within range one should not bother.
Please do semen C&S and take appropriate antibiotics.
Repeat semen exam after 4-6 wks (complete analysis)
The volume was low on both occasions
Before giving sample ensure abstinence of 3-5 days and avoid spliiage
Collection should be done in hospital

Best wishes

Hi
Overall semen is OK
In first and third sample volume is low.
Count is OK in all 3.
Motility is poor in last sample
Liquefaction time is slightly delayed.
I will rate the first and third report as fair and second report good
