Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the semen analysis report is indicative of certain data facts as:
@ Rapid progressive motility is subnormal, suggestive of hampered fertility measures
@ Slow progressive motility is very low suggestive of significant problems with possible conception criteria

The usual cases have issues with the microtubular functions of the sperms. However, a testicular biopsy is the ultimate answer to this query provided all hormone panel as testosterone, FSH and others have been evaluated thoroughly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
