Respected Sir/Madam, I have been experiencing a little bit of erection problem. I got a semen analysis done, which shows a sperm count of 39 million and motility of 35 percent, both of which are considered normal. I consulted a doctor with my report, and he suggested I should try IUI. My wife all reports are normal. Kindly advise me on what to do next.

Your semen analysis values (count is 39 million, motility is 35 percent) are in a normal range but slightly on the lower end for motility. Since you are trying for a baby, IUI is a reasonable next step if natural conception has not worked. You can also try lifestyle changes, avoid smoking/alcohol, reduce stress, and take antioxidants.

I have been facing this problem for the last one year. I have taken a lot of antibiotics and also homeopathy medicine. I have done all tests (blood, sugar, pelvic and Pap smear, and USG of lower abdomen), and the reports were perfectly okay. But I am still suffering from this problem. Kindly help me with this problem and please let me know the possible disease name?

In my report it is mentioned that the semen passed the WHO strict criteria for count and morphology but failed to pass for motility. Can you please explain what this means?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My report stated multiple peripheral follicles with central echogenic stroma in both ovaries. Polycystic appearance on both ovaries.
