Brief Answer:
Abnormal morphology
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
The semen analysis which you have provided is good enough to have a child however these are the issues
1. A human semen is divided into head, neck and tail.
2. When they say defect is there in the head it means that the sperm will not be able to penetrate the ova. Tail defects will have issue to motility, the sperm will not be able to get to the ova
3. However on the brighter side, 20 million sperms are completely normal which is enough to bear a child
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me.
Regards
