Your semen analysis findings may indicate semen infection.
Infection is indicated due to presence of excess pus cells in semen.Normally semen shouldn't contain any pus cells.
No growth of organisms may be due to many reasons,you may go for repeat culture and sensitivity.
You may need investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,semen culture and sensitivity,ultrasound of scrotum.
You may need to take antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity report.
Motility is normal.Normally it should be at least 55 %.Your findings suggests over all 60% motility,so it is normal.
Sperm count is also normal.It should be at least 20 millions/ml.
Other factors like semen amount,pH,morphology etc are normal.
Fertility is expected to increase with control of infection.If infertility persists then you may need assisted fertilization techniques.
Get well soon.
