How To Interpret Semen Analysis Result?
Hi,
I am 30 years old. Just got a semen analysis done, and the following is the result:
Volume: 3ml
Appearance : whitish
Liquefaction time : 20 minutes
pH: 7.6
Viscosity : Normal
Sperm concentration is 25 million
Total count is 50 million
A-Rapid progressive spermatozoa is 4%
B-Slow progression is 35%
C-Non progressive motility is 11%
D-Immotile is 50%
Agglutination is Positive
White Blood Cells is 3-5/HPF
Red Blood Cells is Absent
Immature Germ Cell is 0-2/HPF
Please advise if this is a normal result for potency.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your semen analysis report suggests infection with decreased motility.
Infection is indicated by the presence of WBC in semen.Normally there shouldn't be any WBC in semen.
Infection may be due to prostatitis,UTI etc.
You need antibiotics for infection.
You need few more investigation like routine hemogram,Semen culture and sensitivity,RBS,Ultrasound of pelvis should be done.Trans rectal sonography of prostate can be done if needed.
Proper antibiotics should be prescribed after culture and sensitivity report.
Motility of sperm should improve with control of infection.
You should do exercise and take nutritious diet.
If motility is persistently low,then you may need assisted method fertilization like IUI.
Other findings like sperm count is within normal limit.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
