Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My sperm analysis report shows 62% abnormal spermatozoa. Is it something to worry?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It may be due to infection, smoking, alcohol, chemicals, pollutants and excessive heat exposure. If you have any of these, then remove that. What is the count and motility?

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

My sperm count is 68 million per mL. Total progressive motility is 70% after half an hour and 55% after two hours.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your count and motility are very good, so it makes ups for abnormal forms. Also, WHO (World Health Organization) parameter says that only the value of less than 4 % normal sperm indicates infertility. That means up to 96% can be abnormal. If you have any of the factors that I mentioned above, then you have to avoid that. I suggest you Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C and Folic acid tablets for three to six months. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
