hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts and report of semen analysis of your husband that you have posted I can say that he has what is called as Oligoasthanoterratospermia meaning there by that his sperm count,motility of sperms and morphology of sperms is not within normal range of WHO standards.
Truly speaking there are no medications that can improve these parameters ,However following general measure help to improve these parameters to some extent.
1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.
2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and Vitamin A,C,D,E.and Zinc
3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday..

My doctor suggested to with IUI...how IUI will help in this issue ?
do we have success with IUI with this problem ?
do we have success with IUI with this problem ?
Brief Answer:
Consult Infertility Specialist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
IUI will not be successful in your case as sperm count,sperm motility and morphology of the sperm is subnormal.
You can consult Infertility specialist to explore possibility of pregnancy by newly assisted reproductive techniques like IVU (In VItro Fertilization) with sperm concentration or ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) .

Hi Doctor
Thank you for your response, but I am just thinking techncally, in IUI best sperm taken out and that will be injected into womb when egg is released (or about to release)
So, now my husband has around 5 % rapid sperm and 15 % normal morphology and 10ml sperm count.
With these count, can't they take out best / rapid sperm to fertilize egg ?

In IUI sperms are not selected but injected in uterus by catheter and results of success with repeated sittings is 15 % with sperms of normal morphology .Where as in IVF few mature sperm with normal morphology are selected after sperm concentration technique and female egg is fertilised in vitro .
IUI is a less invasive and less expensive option,however pregnancy rates from IUI are lower than those from IVF.
You need to consult qualified Infertility specialist to explore the options of both the methods in terms of results ..
