What Does My Semen Analysis Report Indicate?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I am 36 year old and bit obese (85 kg - 164 cm) guy. Today i went for semen analysis as we are trying for a baby for last 6-8 months.
First it was difficult to masturbate in lab for test and so the quantity was very low.
After i submitted the sample got a call from the lab technician that there is some issue with the sample in terms of liquefaction time (got a call after 90 minutes of submitting the sample) and so i should come again for submitting the sample.
Bit scared. Is it curable or how serious is this.
I smoke

Brief Answer:
Hi I think it is curable.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I think it is not a major problem. Liquefaction time can be more than normal if there is any infection in semen. You can get a semen culture and sensitivity test done to rule out any infection.
I think you should inquire regarding the issue with the sample because if it doesn't get liquefied, it can be done with chemicals. So, maybe there can be some other issues like an insufficient sample.
You should not take too much stress and if it is difficult to give the sample in the lab, you can collect the sample at home and then submit it within 30 minutes to the lab.
You can take antibiotics like Doxycycline (prescription based medication) 100mg twice a day for 10 days empirically also. But first, wait for the full report.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.
Regards

Hi I think your semen analysis is normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have seen your report. I think your analysis is normal. Count, motility and morphology is in normal limits. You can try for a pregnancy naturally if your wife's reports are normal.
Be in contact with your wife every 2 to 3 days after the periods stop. Hope it helps.
