Reduced Motility

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about semen analysis.

Following is my reply :

1) Your sperm motility ( movement) is slow.

2) If you are overweight please lose weight which will help you.

3) Please stop smoking and alcohol if you have habits.

4) Wear loose undergarments and pants.

5) These measures over few months will help you to regain and improve motility.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
