Hello and welcome to HCM,
The semen analysis report is as follows:
1. Volume : 2ml is within normal limits
2. pH: 8.0 is also within normal limits
3. Liquefaction time: 60 min is within limits
4. Color and consistency are also within normal limits
5. Sperm count: 100 million/ml is within normal limits. In a normal semen sample, sperm count should be atleast 20 million/ ml
6. Sperm motility: 50 % of the sperms should show active forward motion
7. Morphology: Atleast 50 % of the sperms should have normal morphology

In your semen analysis, sperm count and sperm morphology are within normal limits.
However, the sperm motility is slightly below normal range.
The semen analysis should be repeated after three days of abstinence for correct semen analysis.

Thanks and take care

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Your semen analysis report is within normal limits.
motility,sperm count and sperm morphology are absolutely normal.
semen volume of 2ml is towards lower limit of normal while liquefaction time of 60 minutes is towards higher side of normal .liquefaction time is raised generally in case of any infection present in semen.since no pus cells or signs of infection are noted so it can be taken as normal.
hope this will help!
