Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. The count is ok although on the lower side. The motility too is not very good. Not bothered about the percentage of abnormal sperms as this percentage will actually vary with the threshold they define (using typical criteria, anything more than 4% would have been considered ok, but in such a case the normal percentage would not have been expected to have gone above 10%).
I would insist you to take Folvite tablet 5 mg once daily (folic acid) and Cobadex CZS tablet (contains zinc) once daily for the next 3 to 6 months. Folic acid and zinc supplements have been proven to improve sperm count and motility.
Other than that, have unprotected sex on every alternate day with your partner between the 10th and 20th day of her cycle. This will ensure an optimal number of sperms.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
