Hello

Your semen analysis findings suggests compromised sperm count,decreased sperm motility .

Normally sperm count should be at least 20 millions/ml.Your sperm count is 08 million/ml,so it is low.

Motility of sperm should be at least 55 %.You have 45% motile sperms,so it is also low.

Sperm morphology is normal.Normally it should be at least 16 % for natural fertilization.

Besides clinical examination,you need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,ultrasound of scrotum,hormone assay.It is important to rule out any pathology.
You should do exercise and take nutritious food.

If infertility persists then you may need assisted fertilization techniques.
Treatment depend upon findings.

Take Care
