Hello
Thanks for your query.
The result is definitely not normal.
IT signifies oligozoospermia .
This means a lower than normal sperm count.
Teratozoospermia means that most of the sperms have abnormal shape ( morphology ).
Causes for this condition can include - drugs, radiation, ageing, tobacco, alcohol, hot tubs, saunas, chemicals, castration, abstinence, infection, obstruction, chromosomal anomalies etc.
Please consult an Andrologist / Urologist for detailed evaluation and treatment accordingly.
All the best.
Take care.
