How Serious Is Teratozoospermia With 2% Normal Morphology Showing In My Semen Analysis Test Report?

Hi Doctor, I have been trying for pregnancy since 10 months, in vain, I thought to get myself tested to know if there is any problem. Blood tests have come out normal but I am not sure of how to interpret the semen analysis report. I got the test done from an andrology lab who deal specifically with these kind of stuff. Below are the results Volume : 1.8 ml Liquefaction time : 20 mins Viscosity : Normal Appearance : Grey- Opaque pH : alkaline Sperm concentration : 34 mil / ml Total count : 61.2 million Total motility : 53% ——— Progressive: 39% ——— Non- Progressive : 14% ——— Non motile : 47% Morphology Normal : 2% Abnormal : 98% Head defects : 38% Neck and mid-piece defects : 42% Tail defects : 18% Cell debris : Present Leukocytes : Occasional Epithelial cells : Occasional IMPRESSION : TERATOOZOOSPERMIA I am quite worried with the test result, Is there any problem with the above test. What is this teratozoospermia? Do I really need to worry about teratozoospermia and any treatment available doctor ? Hope to get a reply soon. Thanks and appreciate it,
