The sperm counts can improve by quitting smoking and alcohol.
Keep your scrotum cool by wearin loose underclothing and pour water as necessary.
If varicocele is confirmed get it tied surgically.
You can take preparations containing ubiquinone and lycopene to improve the count.Some destressing is required.
If your wife is young and has her tests normal you can wait before ICSI.
Increase the coital freq to atleast one every <72 hrs.
You should do FSH LH Prolactin and Testosterone levels and see an Andrologist(Urologist).
ensure that your blood sugar is normal.

Hi
If you are already on medications you continue the same only.
ICSI has no major problems and is safe to do, but try IUI for few cycles before you plan ICSI.
Its normal to see discharge coming out after coitus and dont worry about it.
Your reports will better be seen by Urologist.
Please do and show them.
