Hi, My husband and I are trying to conceive. It’s two years now and with no luck so far, so we’ve decided to resort to medical assistance. The first thing we had to do was a semen analysis. My husband is 31 years old, he’s young but you never know… Anyway, we’re a bit confused about the results… Kindly could anybody help us understand the semen analysis results? Here you go: Sperm Motility Score = 57 Count/mL = 41m Total Count = 72m Normal head 25% Large head 3% Small head 0% Tapered head 52% Immature head 5% Duplicate head 0% Amorphous head 13% Normal Tail 72% No tail 4% Short tail 3% Coiled tail 6% Bent tail 4% Two tails 2% Midpiece defect 9% Viability 25% Hypo-osmolarity 19% The recommendation of the OB/GYN was that my husband should visit an urologist but firstly we'd like to know whether he's got any problem. Please, share any knowledge you may have... We'd be grateful for an answer.
