I understood that its Subsoft specimen, this is for more information
I'm confused now it might not be subsoft, i don't know???? (doctors language)
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
From your reports, I would like to make the following comments (correct me if I am wrong):
Total Sperm count: 56 million/ml (It is normal)
Normal morphology: 70%
Active Motility: 15% (Low)
If your report is as above, the only issue is low motility which is not a big problem. The medications you are taking right now are good enough to improve. Low motility per se is not bad and cause infertility.
There is no entity called subsoft semen specimen.
Internationally accepted WHO criteria of semen analysis do not have this word. Hence, I would suggest that you go to your reputed laboratory for semen analysis next time which uses standard WHO semen analysis criteria and words.
Overall, I don’t see a problem in conceiving with above report
I hope I have answered your query. I will be available for any further queries.
