Brief Answer:
20 million per ml is considered to be normal as per WHO standards

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .

A sperm count of 20 millions and above 20 million per ml of semen is considered to be normal sperm count as per WHO .

A count of Minimum 15 % of active motile sperm (Rapid motile sperm) that is important to effect pregnancy .

Since your semen analysis has revealed both values to be above normal acceptable levels there is no reason why you should not impregnate your wife by natural means .

The medications that have been prescribed have empirical value rather than proved therapeutic value.

To be true there are no medications that have been proved scientifically effective to increase sperm count .Following general measure do help to increase sperm count.
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..
4) Avoid alcohol and smoking.

Thanks and Regards.
