Can Sperm Motility Be Improved?
Sir, I have checked my semen analysis. It has issue of low motility. Total motitiy is 40%. 8% is rapid linear progrossive and 52% is slow/non linear progreesive and 40% is non progressive. Is it medically possible to concieve with this quality of sperm? and can sperm motility be improved?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Your sperm motility is slightly below normal according to latest WHO2010 criteria. (Normal motility >40%, Progressive motility should be >32%). In your case progressive motility is 8+52=60% of total motility (or around 24%). If sperm count is above 20-25million/mL, it should compensate for motility & there should good chance for conception provided other factors (wife's tubes & ovulation) are normal.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
