What Does This Semen Analysis Report Indicate?
Question: I am 35 years old, married and have two daughters. My wife did not get pregnant within the last one year. She had some issues, which now she has been treated successfully.
I decided to do semen analysis and went through check by the doctor. He suspected I have varicocele and he sent me to the lab to do check through a medical device.
Attached is the semen analysis report and varicocele result.
I have low sperm motility; he prescribed me Stresstabs with Zinc and Evit Natural Anti-Oxidant for 3 months. He said if it does not work you might need to go for surgery.
Is it really because I have varicocele?
Should I go for surgery now or try the medicine for 3 months hoping it will work.

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts and reports that you have uploaded your semen parameters like sperm count ,sperm motility and morphology of the sperms is well within accepted range of WHO standards to impregnate your wife by natural means except the fact that presence of 2-4 puss cells suggest infection either of Seminal Vesicle or Prostate .
As regards Varicocele on left side it is not scientifically prove that Varicocele causes low motility of sperm neither it can be guaranteed that surgery for Varicocele can improve the the sperm motility (It helps only in 30 % of cases .)
You need to take antibiotic like Bactrim or Doxicycline twice daily for six weeks along with treatment suggested by your Dr for 3 months which will help to eradicate infection and improve sperm motility .
Truly speaking there is no medication that can increase sperm count or sperm motility Following measure will help you to improve sperm count and sperm motility to some extent .
1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.
2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and Vitamin A,C,D,E.and Zinc
