Hi, I have gone through your question. Your semen examination is all normal except that the 80% sperms are abnormal in morphology. Abnormalities in the morphology of the sperm can be due to infection, or any abnormality in the testes or the ejaculatory duct. Apartfrom it, the sperm count and motility are normal. Increased number of macrophages are suggestive of infection.
I would suggest you to consult a urologist and get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
