Semen Analysis Showed 18 Million/ml. Meaning? Suggest

hi, Im 32 years. For me the sperm count is fluctuating. When I did my semen analysis on Dec 2012, the sperm count is 18 million/ml and the active sperm is 18% and found abnormal sperms and giant sperms. I did again the semen analysis on Jan 2013, in which the sperm count is 40 million/ml and the active sperm and sluggish sperm are 0%. When I did the semen analysis (after 5 days of intercourse) on this month of may My sperm count is only 0000 /ml, whereas the active sperm is 44% and sluggish sperm is 45% and found some sperm abnormality. Please advise me why it has reduced rapidly. Please also advise how to increase it.

Hello,

Due to lack of standardization and not adhering to the guidelines there are lot of discrepancies in the lab results.
Most of the times it is done manually.
Nowadays automated sperm counters are available in certain centers. You can do sperm analysis there. It you still found the same picture in that also than the next thing to go for may be a testicular biopsy.
