We have been trying to conceive for the past 4 to 5 months but have not been successful. As advised by the doctor, I underwent some tests, including a semen analysis. My report shows that more than 50 percent of the sperm are non viable (dead) out of 30 million, and only 24 percent are motile. Please help me understand what this means and what can be done.

Low motility and high dead sperm count can affect fertility. Improving lifestyle, avoiding heat exposure, and taking antioxidant supplements may help. If persists, consider seeing an andrologist.

Question

My report says that multiple cysts are found in the ovaries, but I have no other symptoms of PCOS. There is no weight gain, no excess hair growth, no acne, and my periods come exactly on the 28th day. Do I still have PCOS?

Question

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?

Question

Respected Doctors, please interpret the report for me. Do I have any serious problem? My report says both the ovaries appear normal in size but show multiple small follicles with no dominant follicle in either ovary. No adnexal mass is seen. No free fluid is seen in the abdomen or pelvis. No mass, lump, or collection is seen. No abnormally dilated bowel loops are seen. Aorta and IVC are normal in caliber. Both psoas muscles are normal. Impression: possible PCOD. Suggestion: hormonal correlation.
