Hello,

I found Progressive motility is much less than the normal. But Do not worry as there are ample methods of getting a solution.

There may be little problem in having the pregnancy of your wife by natural means.

If there is no pregnancy for 1 year after having natural means, then, you can go for Assisted Reproductive Techniques like Intra Uterine Insemination (low cost) along with Sperm washing.

In sperm washing technique, the good quality sperms will be chosen and it will be injected in your wife's uterus which easily fuse with ova. The Infertility specialist will guide you more on this.

Meanwhile, you can do these followings for increasing the quality of sperms:

Exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, reduce alcohol, quit smoking.

Some supplements may also help improve sperm motility. For example, a daily supplement of 200 micrograms of selenium along with 400 units of vitamin E for at least 100 days in a row.

Supplements are not regulated, so you should only buy them from reputable vendors.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
