Need Evaluation Of My Semen Analysis
Hi This is Ajay
I am attaching my Semen Analysis Report.
Physical Examination
Volume : 4 ml
PH : Alkaline
Colour : Grey White
Liquefaction : Partialy Liquified by 1 Hour
MIcroscopic Examination
Sperm Count : 55 million/ml
Sperm count per ejacuation : 220 million/ml
Sperm Motility (%) Aftr 30 /Mins Aftr 2/hrs
Total Progressive
Excellent forward IV 15% 10%
Good Forward III 20% 15%
Sluggish Forward II 30% 25%
NOn Progressive I 25% 30%
Non Motile 10% 20%
Sperm Morphology 50% Normal Forms
Abnormal Head 2%
Abnormal Neck 2%
Abnormal Tail 1%
Leucocytes +
Epithelial Cells +
Red Blood Cells Nil
Trichomonas Vaginals Nil
Grams Stain No Bacteria Seen
Zn Stain No A F B Seen
IMPRESSION : Mild Asthenospermia
our marriage was on September 2010, and we are trying for a child from June 2011. But in between that i have got a civier pain at my scotrum and found that it is due to type 1 or 2 Vericocle. So i have consulted one Gynacologist and he told me that no need of operation. he gives me the tablets carnisure, addyzoa, m Gam, etc. And this is the latest report i have mentioned here. Now he told me that to try for Intrauterine insemination (IUI). So pls let me know whether i have to gor IUI or wait for normal pregnency.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the semen analysis is as follows:
The physical characters- semen volume of 4 ml, grey white color, alkaline pH are within normal limits.
Partial liquefaction at 1 hour is not normal since complete liquefaction should occur at 1 hour.
Inability to show complete liquefaction suggests deficient prostatic secretion since prostatic secretions are responsible for liquefaction.
The sperm count should be at least 20 million / ml.
In your case the sperm count is also within normal limits.
Motility- atleast 40% sperms should show progressive motion according to WHO criteria.
In your case 65% sperms are showing progressive motion.
Atleast 56% sperms should have normal morphology which is normal in your case.
Presence of leukocytes/ pus cells suggests infection.
Thus, you need to consult your doctor with the report for prescription of antibiotic.
Absence of red blood cell, epithelial cells is a normal finding.
Absence of bacteria, AFB is also within normal limits.
For giving any opinion on semen sample, infection has to be controlled.
Thus, complete the course of antibiotic and then get the semen analysis repeated after 2-3- weeks with 3 days of abstinence.
No opinion can be given in presence of infection.
Thanks and take care
