Brief Answer:

It is normal.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Your semen analysis report is absolutely normal. Motility, morphology and total count is very much within normal limits.

The pus cells shown are insignificant. Do you have any infection in testis or urinary tract associated with pain? If so consult a urologist.

Hope my answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
