Hello doctor, my sperm count is <<1 million per ml and total motility is 10%, both moderate and rapid linear progressive are nil. Non progressive sluggish is 10%. What are the chances of fertility? Please advice what are the options for getting a baby also. I am taking a Maxoza powder from last week daily twice. Please advice for the chances of a baby. Thanks in advance - Nitin

Hello Nitin! You have a low sperm concentration and total motility is also low (the normal would be >50%. I would say fertilization chance will is low but not impossible. You need to get a physical examination to check if you have a varicocoele. 50% of infertile men has it and it is easily surgically corrected. Stop wearing tight underwear would also improve sperm parameters. Also you need at least 2 sperm analysis done one month apart to really say that it is abnormal and should be examined if you are perfectly healthy (no cough, no flu etc.)
