Semen Analysis Done. Diagnosed Astheno-terato-zoospermia. Can It Be Treated?
hi doctor,
my age is 39 years, weight is 75 kgs, height is 5.8
please note my semen analysis,
sperm count 70 mil/mL
motility:
total progressive 20% at one hour and 10% at 2 hours
immotile 72% and 80%
rapid progressive 00%
morphology:
normal forms 02%
head defects 65%
mid piece and neck defects 27%
tail defects 07%
multiple defects 33%
diagnosed as astheno-terato-zoospermia.
Is this condition treatable really? Can me and my wife have a baby, my wife being diagnosed with hypothyroid (on thyroup 75 mcg) and PCOS, her HSG and other scans are normal?
awaiting your reply in anticipation,
Babu

Hi Babu,
Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) You have less normal forms and slow moving sperms.
2) I suggest you take anti oxidant medicines prescribed from your docotr and repeat the test after 3 months which might improve the success and get better count.
3) Moreover your age is increasing. If you have been married for long, please go for IVF / ICSI method of treatment without wasting time
I hope I answered your query. Let me know if you have any followup queries.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
