1% morphology but everything else looks okay. Anyone been through this?
Hi everyone,
I recently had a semen analysis done, and the report says teratozoospermia because my morphology is 1% (WHO strict criteria).
The rest of my results seem okay:
Concentration: 38 million/mL
Total motility: 52%
Progressive motility: 37%
Morphology: 1%
Head defects: 74%
Neck defects: 14%
Tail defects: 11%
The report also noted:
Pus cells: 2–3/HPF
Agglutination: Present
Aggregation: Present
My biggest concern is the 1% morphology. I’ve read that morphology alone doesn’t always predict fertility, but seeing teratozoospermia on the report has me worried.
Has anyone here had similar results? Did you find an underlying cause like a varicocele or infection? Were you able to improve your morphology or were you still able to conceive naturally or with treatment?
I’m waiting to see a fertility specialist, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been in a similar situation. Thanks!
