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.

I have been experiencing irregular periods with a gap of about two months, along with abdominal pain. I had an ultrasound, and it showed two retention cysts and a nabothian follicle in the cervix. I am attaching my report. Please suggest what I should do

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please check my test report and suggest me. Can I get treatment online and the necessary medicine? I was discharged early, and my sperm count is low and thin.
