Brief Answer:
Olisoasthenoteratozoospermia

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about semen analysis.

Your semen analysis shows low sperm count, reduced Motility and defective sperms.

This needs to be evaluated why semen sample is bad. I suggest you repeat semen analysis in another standard laboratory in your town before deciding further treatment.

If the defective semen is confirmed in another semen sample, you can undergo further tests like scrotal Doppler and hormonal evaluation.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

No other tests

If there are healthy sperms, it would show on semen analysis. Please repeat semen analysis.

There is no other way to pullout healthy sperms if he is not producing them.
