Hi Jeelan,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The following things could be inferred on the semen analysis report you have posted.
1. Sperm count of 25 million/ml is normal (Normal value should be more than 20 million/ml).
2. Liquification time of 30 minutes is normal (Normal range is 20 to 30 minutes).
3. Reaction should be alkaline and is normal.
4. Sperm motility with 40% active motility is little less (Normal should be more than 50%)
5. Sperm morphology of with 80% normal heads seems to be good.
Hence the report can be considered normal except for motility factor.
You can take medications containing L-carnitine, Alpha Lipoic acid, CoQ 10, Lecithin, Vitamin E, Selenium and Zinc regularly for a month and see for the improvement by getting semen analysis done again.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
