OBGYN,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Yes, your semen analysis report showed some abnormal features. No diagnosis can be made after a single report. Before seeing any Urologist I recommend you to repeat the same test after an abstinence of no more then 3 days. Hopefully your report will improve. If not so, you should see the Urologist for necessary evaluation.
Wish you best of luck.
