Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the report of Semen Analysis of your husband that you have posted I would like to make comments in comparison to WHO standards as detailed below .

1) Colour is normal
2) Viscosity is Slightly viscous which is abnormal and may be due to clumping of the sperms together .
3)Liquefaction time is 3 hours .Normal liquefaction time is 30 to 45 minutes .High liquefaction time suggests clumping of the sperms mostly due to infection which hampers free mobility of sperms
4)Total Sperm count of 38 millions (In 3 ml of semen ) is also very low which in your case should be 120 millions .
5)Presence of 8-10 pus cells strongly suggests infection either in seminal vesicles or prostate and needs to be treated with antibiotics.

Other important parameters of semen like percentage of Motility of sperms and Morphology of the sperms are not mentioned in your report hence can not be commented on .
