Hi & Welcome.

I can understand your concern about your semen analysis report.

Liquefaction time is a measure of the time it takes for the semen to liquefy This usually occurs within 15 to 30 minutes after ejaculation. If semen does not liquefy in 15 to 30 minutes, fertility could be affected.

A prolonged time of 2 hours means there can be an infection for which you should consult a surgeon for the treatment. A thorough physical checkup and appropriate further testing is necessary to establish the cause.

It is curable, fertility depends upon other factors also like count and motility of the sperm as well as pH and morphology etc.

The overall sperm count should be at least 40 million of which 75% should be alive and 30% should be of normal shape and form. In that, 25% should have active motility (good swimming speed to move forward). This indicates the fertilizing capabilities of the sperm. The active motility in your case is low this may also the fertility as well.

There is nothing serious but care should be taken.

Meanwhile,
1. Avoid tight clothing/exposure to radiation/ working in hot environments for prolonged periods.
2. Avoid smoking/alcohol/tobacco consumption in any form/drugs.
3. Maintain an ideal body weight, and exercise regularly.
4. Many nutritional supplements can be recommended by your doctor, after examining you, for a treatable cause of your problem.

Hope the advice given above would be beneficial to you.
Best regards.
