Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The following conclusions can be inferred based on the semen analysis report you have enclosed.
1. Sperm morphology seems to be fine with normal forms 90%.
2. Sperm motility with 40% is less than normal and your doctor has suggested rightly that it should be greater than 60%. Motility is one of the important factor as it determines the sperm to travel in female genital tract and fertilize ovum.
Other physical characteristics and sperm count has not been indicated in the report and hence cannot be commented upon.
However, kindly take medications containing L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin E, Selenium, Zinc, Inositol and Lecithin for 3 months, which would provide nutrients for sperm maturity and help in its functioning. You need to repeat semen analysis after 3 months to look for improvement.
Kindly consult your doctor with the report for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
