General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
After going through your husband's semen analysis report, the following things can be concluded:
Semen volume is in the lower normal limit. There is no indication of infection.
Sperm count and other physical features are normal.
But sperm motility is less and sperm morphology shows many defects. Hence his fertility chances are less.
He can take medications like Carnitine, CoQ10 and Vitamin E for a month and see if these things improve. Kindly take opinion regarding this from an Andrologist.
Then you can decide accordingly. All the best.
