Hello,
The alkaline viscosity is all right for semen report. The liquification time of 60 minutes is more than normal period (which is around 20 - 30 minutes). Liquification is the time during which the sperms surrounding changes from thick viscous jelly to thin watery atmosphere, which helps to make sperms swim to ovum easily after the release time into vagina, travel upto fallopian tubes. Most common cause of such prolonged liquification is infection of prostate or seminal vesicles which is here supported with reporting of 6-10 pus cells per high power field. It is the basic treatment of infection is mandatory to get best results of semen analysis for the fertility purpose.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
