Brief Answer:
repeat semen analysis with scrotal scan.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
Well your concern is understandable.

As an Urologist, i advise you to repeat the semen analysis after a gap of 4 weeks. This is to compare the two, and see if the reports are consistent.

Kindly mention how long you've been trying for a child. Your scrotal doppler scan must be done. It would be good to know, which medications you're taking, with dosage and duration of treatment taken.

Hope your wife has also had a gynecologist evaluation.

There's nothing serious to worry, but complete information is needed to give you expert advice.

Feel free to contact me anytime. Wish you well.

Brief Answer:
complete testing and continue same medication.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
As an Urologist, the finding in one sample of semen analysis shows sub optimal motility (movements ) of sperms. Otherwise the report is grossly normal.
However now that you're on medication, you should repeat the semen analysis in one months' time, after 2 days abstinence.
As in my previous advice, your scrotal doppler ultrasound and blood FSH,LH, PRL are also needed to complete the basic assessment and give an expert advice.
Wish you well.

Dear Sir

May i know what is the exact problem? What does my Wife's report says? Can we go for Test Tube baby directly?

Brief Answer:
No need to rush for I.V.F.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
In the last answer, i've explained, that you need to continue the medicines for another 3 months. Also, your blood hormones and scan have not been done yet.
There's no need to rush into A.R.T.(assissted reproductive techniques), so soon.
Your problem may be corrected with medical treatment, if the scan and hormones are normal. So reply, with the reports and don't be in such a hurry.
Also, understand, that test tube procedure (I.V.F.), is not a 100 % guarantee, that your wife will conceive. The best centres have a success rate of approximately 35-40 % pregnancy. It's also an expensive procedure, for each attempt.
Hope your doubt is cleared.
Wish you well.
