Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Can you please upload the entire report of the semen analysis at
http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-aarti-abraham/64623
That will help me to formulate a better diagnosis.
You have not mentioned the semen count.
The semen motility should be more than 50 % which is slightly low, also the rapid linear motility is quite low.
ALso, you have not mentioned the sperm morphology, as percentage of normal sperms matters, versus the abnormal forms.
That is why I am requesting you to upload the report.
With a low forward progressive count, natural conception becomes slightly difficult.
You can ask him to consult an Andrologist to assess the cause of abnormal sperm result.
Accordingly, the treatment can be tailored.
There are various newer methods of assisted reproductive technologies ( ART ) such as IUI ( intra uterine insemination ) which can help conception with low counts and motility.
Please discuss these with your gynaecologist.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further at the above mentioned link.
