What Does My Semen Analysis Test Report Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 3 Jan 2017

Question: Hi

I had my semen test last friday 12/09 and came as abnormal for the morphology which is 10% but count & 'motility were pretty good. I and my wife were trying for baby for an year. Also i didnt take any vitamins supplements till now. Fertility Doctor suggested for IUI. We were worried a lot as my income is low to afford such a high treatment. Please give us some good advice what to proceed further to father a child. My wife age is 24 everything good for her.

Thanks
Shiva

Brief Answer:
Normal morphology

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about semen analysis.

Your semen morphology at 10 % is normal and there is no need to worry about it.

You don't need any treatment or medicines to improve it.

Get HSG (hysterosalpingogram) test done for your wife.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

HSG has been done today for my wife and doctor said everything good as fallopian tubes were open and healthy. Also i notied now in semen report under the liquifaction section it says non liquified. How does it will affect?

As you said normal morphology not sure why doctor suggested directly for IUI. Please advise

Brief Answer:
Infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This delayed liquefaction could be due to semen infection.

I suggest you get semen culture and sensitivity test done to identify if there is semen infection.

Doctor would have suggested for IUI as this is next logical step.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
