Hello
Thanks for query.
Your semen analysis suggests that you have Oligoasthenospermia meaning there by that your sperm count is below the normal range(Normal acceptable range is 50 million/ml) and percentage of active motile sperm is also very low(Normal acceptable range is more than 20%) as compared to WHO standards and accepted by most of the fertility centers to have effective fertilization of a female egg to result in natural pregnancy
This could be due to infection of the seminal vesicle or Prostate as indicated by presence of 12-15 pus cells .
Please consult qualified Infertility specialist for assessment and take antibiotics like Doxicycline twice daily for 4 weeks
Repeat semen analysis after 4 weeks .
Do not worry these things can be normalized with appropriate treatment
