Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your semen analysis report suggests that motility is low.Mentioned morphology is acceptable.
I think your condition will improve with diet and life style modification.
You should increase your physical activity in the form of exercise and walking.You should avoid alcohol,caffeine and smoking if you take this.
In diet you can take banana,pomegranate,raw garlic,walnut etc.
You should take vitamin C rich food,red meat & dairy products etc.
Avoid tight fitting undergarments and pants or shorts.Make sure your testes aren't overheated,so stay out of hot tubs and don't keep overheated laptops your lap for prolonged periods.
You should also avoid stress causing factors.
Rest of the findings like count,amount,morphology etc are normal.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
