How To Treat The Abnormalities Found In Semen Analysis?
Hi Doctor,
My Name is Manikandan, I have completed 2 years of my marriage life. My wife got a miscarriage within 6months of our marriage life. We started trying for a baby after 3 months from the date of miscarriage and ended without any luck after tying for about 9+ months. Later she was tested and treated for her PCOS problem and she took glycomate and Letrozole to stimulate egg rapture for about 4 month. She had normal periods around this 2 years and she is noramal now without any PCOS issue. Later we thought to check me and consulted a urology. Doctor asked to do a Seman analysis and scrotum scan of my varicocele.
The results of Seman Analysis:
Volume: 2ml
Count: 14million/ml
Motility:
1/2hr---> Active:70% Sluggishly:20% Non-motile:10%
1 hr----> Active:65% Sluggishly:20% Non-motile:15%
2hr-----> Active:60% Sluggishly:20% Non-motile:20%
Morphology : 10% Normal and 90% Abnormal
Yet to do the scan...
Please advise on when can I recover from the problem. I am more worried about the morphology %. I had smoke and drinks habit for about 12 year and have quit more than 3 months back. Will we able to get a baby with natural intercourse.

Hello Manikandan
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Your semen analysis report is showing definite problems.
The semen count is quite low ( normal is atleast 20 million / ml)
Also, the percentage of abnormal forms is quite high.
This could be due to - stress, anxiety, recent surgery or illness, alcohol, tobacco, heat exposure.
Genetic abnormalities, hormonal deficiency, structural changes, blockage of ducts, infections - all these are potential factors.
Your Urologist should conduct detailed tests - hormones, ultrasound of scrotum and testes etc, to know the real cause.
You should repeat the semen analysis 3 months after stopping tobacco and alcohol.
If natural intercourse fails, you can go for IUI ( intra uterine insemination ) which will yield good results.
Take care.
