Hi
Looking at your reports and query, my opinion is
1. Sperm count, liquefaction are normal
2. Normal sperm morphology should be between 40 -45 percent. So thats not a problem with your case.
3. Pus cells are seen which means there is a infection which needs to be treated.
4. Motility of sperms is reduced. At least 40 percent should have forward and progressive motility. Your reports suggest that sperm motility is sluggish and some are non motile.
This could be due to underlying infection. Treatment of underlying infection could improve the motility and thus chances of fertilization would improve.
Hope this helps
