Hi There, I Have Some Concerns Which I Wanted A

Question: Hi There,

I have some concerns which i wanted a second opinion on please.

A bit about me i am a 30 year old all i ever do is suffer from extreme anxiety and have had medication for this before Amitriptyline.
There is not one day when i am not worried about my Fertility and this is not normal anymore.
I have paid online for numerous tests and I need a doctors advice because this is getting out of control now.

I am due to get married in November and we have not even tried for a baby yet.

I used this application online which shows i have;

Sample Volume is 1.5 -(But this was performed after 24 hours Abstinence.
Sperm concentration: 184 million cells/ml

However sir my concern is the Motility out of 184 million cells/ML are only 6.4%
Which give a total motile sperm count of 17.7 million - (18m)

- i was hoping for my motility score to be much higher then this. My lifestyle has not been the best i do not drink much water i have multivitamins, but constantly stressed about my fertility.

MY MEDICAL RECORD
i do not have a medical history as such. When i was younger i was suffering from Prostatitis for several years until i had treatment with antibiotics. I was diagnosed with a spermatocele and a light hydrocele , and in that scenerio due to excessive examination of the testicles because i was worried i caused pain to the left side of my testicle, i did have this checked by a urologist.

My questions are simple - if the concentration is high what does this show? I still have motile sperm cells which is good news BUT how do i improve my motility score? is there a problem upon ejaculation - or damage to the organs. Previously i have discussed these issues with DR XXXXXXX regarding the infection, pain etc and a couple of other doctors and at that time they told me not to worry.

I understand sperm takes 3 months to build but i also suffer from stress and depression. I have reached out to someone who does this on a daily basis what changes do i need to make into life to giving me the best possible chance to impregnate please when we decide to have a famly, I need to improve my motility why is it not as good as my concentration?

Brief Answer:
Nothing to do

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sunnyk,

I am sorry to hear about your worries. Your sperm analysis seems OK and I see no problem for you in impregnating a woman. What I recommend is abstinence from alcohol and tobacco and when you plan intercourse to conceive, stay away from masturbating a few days before. I also recommend an ovulation test for your wife so that you can time it perfectly according to her cycle.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
