Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the sperm analysis is as follows:
The volume, pH, colour are within normal range.
Viscosity is mildly increased which can the case in case of infections.
The total sperm count is within range.
The motility of the sperms is also normal.
60% of the sperms have progressive motion which is a normal finding.
However, the morphology of sperms is subnormal.
Atleast 50% of the sperms should have normal morphology but in your case only 17% have normal morphology.
Consult your treating doctor for further action.
Thanks and take care
