Brief Answer:
Motility

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sperm count is normal and even morphology is normal. Only Rapid progressive is low.

I suggest do some lifestyle changes such as healthy diet and regular excercise for next 3 months. STop smoking and alcohol if you do.

This will help in improving motility. Test again after 3 months for improvement.

As of now you dont need any medicines as the motility is likely to imrove with above measures. You can have baby naturally.

I suggest

Brief Answer:
obesity

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Obesity decreases sperm motility. You need to loose weight by regular diet and excercise. This will help in increasing motility and other semen parameters.
