Brief Answer:
Chances of chromosomal abnormalities exist
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
The
semen analysis of your husband, unfortunately, shows very few normal forms. The count is however, normal. There are a few facts I would like to explain here in this context.
In asthenospermia,
ICSI or
intracytoplasmic sperm injection, a type of IVF procedure, is usually successful. When
teratospermia or abnormal forms are associated with a normal count, chromosomal abnormalities are seen. When such a sperm is used for fertilization, chromosomal abnormalities are observed in the offspring.
Thus, if this semen analysis is taken as the criterion, the ideal thing to do would be to go for donor semen. Before embarking on any major decision, I would prefer a consultation with an
infertility specialist or XXXXXXX for a complete evaluation, repetition of the semen analysis and if needed, a testicular
biopsy or genetic
counselling. If there are any repairable causes, they may be looked into.
Only after exploring all possibilities, please go ahead with a IUI or IVF with donor semen. This is done in all major facilities today with proper precautions.
Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
regards,
Shanti.V.
