Brief Answer:
Decreased sperm count

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply

1. Yoir sperm count is still within normal range for conception but slightly decreased than previous report.

2. This occurs in relation to environment, stress, chenged life style or habit.

3. Anyway this is also not permanent.

4. Repeat the test after 15 days un a different and more standard lab and you will see improvement.

5. This is just temporary and hence dont worry

Thanks dr. XXXXXXX for ur reply. I have some more queries related to that.
1. We both have consulted a doctor regarding this.they recommended me take Migrate Q10 tablets for 3 months. But my wife's ovulation period is going to start within one week. Is that possible to make in this short period.

2. Which are the foods will help me on this case.

Brief Answer:
Normal semen analysis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

You can take the tablet for improvement.

But since your semen analysis report is normal you dont any treatment with medicines or food changes.

You can try for pregnancy with good hopes even now during your wife's periods as your semen analysis parameters are normal.
