Hi guys,
I want to ask a question as I've been to specialists and my GPs too and they have both said I should still be OK to have kids.
I suffer with Epididymitis in my left testicle, for which they can't find any infection and so they said it was chronic Epididymitis.
I also suffer with retrograde ejaculation and so when I went to produce a sample for my fertility test, I obviously struggled to produce a massive amount as usually required...
So basically I went and produced the sample, and these were the results found:
Appearance: Normal
Liquification: Abnormal
Viscosity: Abnormal
pH: 8.0
Volume: 0.5 mL
Motility (Progressive): 28.50%
Motility (Non-Progressive): 62.00%
Motility (Immotile): 28.50%
Vitality Vital: 37.65%
Vitality Dead: 62.35%
Morphology: Normal - 3.40%
Sperm Concentration 24.3 Million per mL
Total Sperm Count: 12.1 Million Per mL
The sample was handed in to the lab within 10 minutes of production and I had been abstinent for 4 days prior.
I'm really worried that this might effect my ability to have kids but according to my GP, if I want kids - there should be no significant reason this would cause a great deal of trouble?
What do you guys think? Should I be concerned and is there anything I can do to increase my sperm count and treat the Epididymitis? I've tried all sorts of antibiotics but none have helped...
Thanks!
