Teratozoospermia: what to do? The andrologist answers

Good morning,

after about a year of searching for a pregnancy of which 6 months with the help of ovulation tests we were prescribed some routine tests.

I am 30 and my partner is 33.

The results of the spermiogram revealed Teratozoospermia (normal morphology only 2%, 70% with head anomalies and 20% with mid-tract anomalies).

Volume 2.5 ml – sperm concentration 35 x ml and total number 87.5 x ml. motility: fast progressive 10% slow progressive 10% non-progressive 30% motionless 50% total progressive 17.5 x ml.

The conclusions are: positive oxidation test capacitance adequate for medically assisted procreation techniques.

With these values, is it possible to aspire to the search for a pregnancy in a natural way or is it better to take other types of paths?

I also have multifollicular ovaries with occasional anovulatory cycles. Thank you for your attention.

Best regards

Dear reader,

The progressive motility of the spermatozoa below the average of a fertile subject,
make me suspect the presence of an infection of the seminal tract, so I advise if it has not already been performed, to carry out a sperm culture with an antibiogram for common germs, fungi and chlamydia, and a testicular ultrasound to evaluate the presence of a possible varicocele.
