Hello. Thanks for the query,
Oligospermia refers to semen with a low concentration of sperm which is a common finding in male infertility.
Asthenozoospermia refers to reduced sperm motility.
Hydrocele needs operative corrections.
Clomiphene citrate in oligospermia.
Combination of tamoxifen plus testosterone.
IUI-intrauterine inseminations can be performed.
In more severe cases IVF, or IVF - ICSI is done and is often the best option.
Hope this helps
Good luck

Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
Look, sperm count is lower than required ( normal is >15 million as per WHO 2010).
Sperm motility is also lower than required ( normal is >50% as per WHO 2010).
Sperm morphology is also within normal limit ( normal is 04% as per WHO 2010).
So, overall, there is abnormality in only count and motility.
Consult with your treating doctor for starting Coenzyme Q and vitamin E group of drugs.
Regards.
