What Does This Sperm Analysis Indicate?
Question: Please find my computer assisted Siemens analysis result -
Abstinence - 3 days
Volume - 1.5 ml
Sperm Count - 126 millions
Concentration - 84 millions/ml
Morphology - 4%
Motility ->Total Progressive + Non progressive -35%
I can see my sperm count is OK but motility is on the lower side. I did manual Siemens analysis 1 yr back . Sperm count was similar (82 millions/ ml) but motility was > 60%
Not sure why it's low this time. How severe is this problem and what should be my next steps?
Please advice.. Please note that I am not smoker and occasional drinker.

Hello
Thanks for the query
There are no medical treatment option for improving sperm facility. Only lifestyle changes are recommended, an ideal method to conceive would be intra unterine insemination
Here are a few lifestyle changes usually advised
1. Avoid heat over the groin area, for example do not keep your laptop on your lap. Take cold showers
2. Exercise for atleast 30 min a day
3. Vitamin b complex tablets, once a day has shown positive results in some
4. Wear boxer type underwear
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
