What Does Abnormal Consistency In Semen Analysis Mean And Is Natural Conception Possible?

Hi, my husband has just got the results of his semen analysis back. Two abnormalities were found, abnormal consistency and 94% abnormal morphology. Firstly I do not understand what the consistency results tell me. Secondly what are our chances of conceiving naturally would ivf be required? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
Thanks for query .
The report of semen analysis of your husband has revealed abnormal consistency .
The semen on ejaculation is always like a jelly which gets liquefied within 20-30 minutes so that sperms can move and swim through cervical secretions to enter into uterine cavity for effective fertilization of a female egg .The abnormal consistency signifies delayed liquefaction of semen .

As regards morphological abnormality it suggest that 94 %of the sperms are abnormal as far as anatomy of the sperms is concerned what is called as Terratospermia .In a given situation it is highly unlikely to have natural conception .

As regards success of IVF or ICSi it will all depend upon the the presence of normal active motile sperms present in his semen .

Consult qualified Infertility specialist for guidance and further treatment .
