Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The following conclusions can be drawn from the semen analysis report you have posted:
1. Liquification time, appearance, volume and pH are normal.
2. Sperm count is normal.
3. Sperm motility with 25% rapid progression seems to be less as compared to normal.
4. Sperm morphology of 90% normal is good.
5. Presence of 6-8 pus cells indicates mild infection.
Hence, the report indicates fertility index to be little less due to the problem in sperm motility.
For this, you can take a course of antibiotics like Levofloxacin to clear the infection. Also take medications containing L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, Vitamin E, Selenium and Zinc for a month and see for the improvement by getting tested again.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
