What Is The Treatment For Infertility In Men?
Hi
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last two years without success. My husband had a sperm test which reveals that only 15% of his sperm are motile and only 7% have heads. We are considering IUI but wondered what the chances of success are. We already have a child who is 2 and a half years old.
Thank you
Michelle

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
Your husband semen report shows motility 15% is it active or sluggish.
Active motility should be atleast 30%. And count should be atleast 20million/ml.
For IUI intrauterine insemination your one of the two Fallopian tubes must be open.
If not done then i would advise to get histosalpingography HSG to rule out tubal blockage.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
