Brief Answer:
Normal semen analysis report

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about semen analysis.

Following is my reply:

1) Your husband's semen analysis is normal.

2) He can father a child with this report and he does not need any medicines or treatment.

3) You need to get HSG ( Hysterosalpingogram) to check if your fallopian tubes are open or not.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Dr. Mahesh Koregol.

Brief Answer:
IUI is best option

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Chances of pregnancy are about 15 percent in case of unexplained infertility.

I suggest you go for IUI as taking siphene or any other medicines blindly may not help much.
