Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of semen analysis is as follows:
The volume, color and pH of semen is within normal limits.
The liquefact=ion time is 80 minutes which is more than normal which is upto 60 minutes.
The sperm count of 80 million/ ml is within normal limits.
The motility of the sperms is less than normal. The normal motility of sperms should be 42%.
The morphology of the sperms is within normal range.
However, varicocele can cause sub-normal semen analysis thus, semen analysis should be repeated after treatment of varicocele.
Except for the sub-normal motility, all other parameters are within normal range.
Thanks and take cate
