Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does My Husband's Semen Analysis With 1% Rapid Progression Indicate?
Hi, husband been for semen analysis. After less than hour test completed. Only has 1% rapid progression, 8% slow with the remaining 91%non progressive or immotile. Another test rebooked. What type of assistance will we need? ICSI? But with such poor results can that even work?
The motility is abnormal and spontaneous conception is unlikely. You can take him to a urologist and get evaluated to look for possible causes like varicocele which may result in similar problem. If you fail to conceive you can go for newer techniques like IVF. ICSI may not be effective in this case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
