Thanks for contacting HCM with your lab results.

You are wanting an explanation to your semen analysis. The semen analysis shows that you are making enough sperm, usually anything greater than 15-20million per milliliter. But the number of motile sperm is low. We usually see motile sperm counts above 50%. With your counts being low this may cause infertility. There are no treatments or medication or herbal supplements that improve motility counts. I would recommend a repeat semen analysis in about a month to be sure your motility counts are low.

Hope this answers your medical question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
