Brief Answer:
Abnormal Seminal analysis-Significant infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your query and concern.

As per the report given,

You seem to have following abnormalities noted.

1.Pus cells-7-8/hpf.
2.Grade A 15%-slightly lower-expected to be above 20%-Mild Asthenozoospermia.
3.Colour Opaque white

This indicates gross infection of the seminal fluid resulting in abnormal motility of the sperms .This condition is termed as Pyospermia.

This condition needs aggressive antibiotic treatment to eliminate infection and to normalize seminal parameters.

Post your further queries, if any.
Thank you
