What Does The Following Semen Analysis Report Indicate?
Question: My report reads as follows:
Volume 5.5 ml
Sperm count 9.8 mill/ml
Supravital index 52%
Motility 20%
Mean forward 2
Amorphous 93%
Morphology small 5
Morphology tapered 1
Is there any hope of fathering a child here and what does a 93 amorphous means?

Is there any hope of fathering a child here and what does a 93 amorphous means?
Brief Answer:
It indicates 93 % abnormal morphology sperms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Your report indicates decreased sperm count,decreased sperm motility and excessive abnormal sperms.
You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
You need few investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,colour doppler of scrotum.
Motility should be at least 55 %.Your findings indicate 20 % motility.
Sperm count is also low.Normally sperm count should be at least 20 millions/ml.
Your sperm count is 9.8 million/ml,so count is low.
There are also excessive abnormal sperms.At least 16 % sperms with normal morphology is required for natural fertilization.Your findings indicate 93 % abnormal sperms.
Chances of fathering a child is low with present findings.
You should do exercise and take nutritious food(including anti-oxidants).
If findings doesn't improve then you may need assisted fertilization techniques.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.

And what does the rest of the results entails? Supravital index, mean forward, volume, small and tappered?
Brief Answer:
Supravital index differentiates between live and dead sperms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Supravital index is related to staining of sperms and it differentiates between live and dead sperm. It is assessed when sperm motility is <50%.
Mean forward is normal forward progression of sperms. Its value is at least 2 and it measures how many sperm are moving forward.
Volume of semen is acceptable.
Small and tapered are abnormal morphology of sperms.
