What Causes High Viscosity And Does That Affect Motility?
Question: My analysis shows 4.2 ml volume and 74.4 concentration per ml, which is great. My viscosity is high however at 3 and motility is 38.0. What can cause the high viscosity and could that account for the motility issue? This is just a single sample and I know things can vary, but how bad are these numbers? Lastly, I do take Proscar for hair loss. Many thanks!
