Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of the semen analysis is as following:
The volume of semen is low.
The volume of semen per ejaculate should be atleast 2 ml.
The sperm concentration of 8.7 million per ml is low.
The sperm concentration should be atleast 20 million per ml.
40% sperms should have progressive motion.
However, you have not mentioned the % of sperms with progressive motion.
No mention is made about the morphology of the sperms.
Atleast 50% sperms should have normal morphology.

Thus, more details are required to assess a semen report.
Kindly, post all the parameters for better assessment.

Thanks and take care
