Brief Answer:
Motility

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sperm count is normal and even morphology is normal. Only Rapid progressive is low.

I suggest do some lifestyle changes such as healthy diet and regular excercise for next 3 months. STop smoking and alcohol if you do.

This will help in improving motility. Test again after 3 months for improvement.

As of now you dont need any medicines as the motility is likely to imrove with above measures. You can have baby naturally.

I suggest

Brief Answer:
obesity

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Obesity decreases sperm motility. You need to loose weight by regular diet and excercise. This will help in increasing motility and other semen parameters.

if you are in XXXXXXX you can consult me at XXXXXXX IVI Fertility at sadashivanagar, near mekhri circle between 2 to 6 PM.
