Guidance on semen analysis results
I'm 27 years old and currently evaluating my fertility status in preparation for marriage in 1 year. I’ve done two semen analysis tests and I’m a bit concerned and confused about the results. First one with just 1 day of abstinence and repeat test after 4 days of abstinence.
Report #1 Summary :
Volume: 1.0 mL
Concentration: 12 million/mL
Total Motility: 10%
Progressive Motility: 4%
Morphology: <1% normal
TMSC: 0.48 million
Highly viscous, delayed liquefaction
Report #2 Summary (Tested after 4 days abstinence):
Volume: 2.0 mL
Concentration: 9 million/mL
Total Motility: 8%
Progressive Motility: 3%
Morphology: <1%
TMSC: 0.54 million
Still highly viscous, delayed liquefaction
Attached the reports also.
I don't smoke or drink as well. I want to work towards natural conception and would love a clear path forward.
Based on both reports, what could be the underlying causes? Can I reverse these issues with lifestyle/supplements?

Viscous or thick semen can be caused by various factors, including dehydration, certain medications, lifestyle habits, or underlying medical conditions. Treatment depends on the root cause, but here are some general approaches:
1. Hydration: Ensure adequate water intake to help improve semen consistency.
2. Dietary Changes: Eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin C and E), and minerals (like zinc) can improve semen quality.
3. Exercise: Regular exercise can help with overall health and improve sperm quality.
4. Avoiding Harmful Substances: Reduce alcohol, smoking, and drug use, as these can contribute to changes in semen consistency.
5. Hormonal Therapy: If a hormonal imbalance (like low testosterone) is suspected, hormone replacement therapy may be recommended by a doctor.
6. Medications: In some cases, medications like alpha-blockers or antioxidants may be prescribed.
7. Treatment of Underlying Conditions: Conditions like infections or prostate issues may need to be treated to resolve viscosity issues.
If thick semen persists or is accompanied by other symptoms (like pain, swelling, or infertility), it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and specific treatment.
