Hi Stan,

according to your result you’re suffering from teratozoospermia, that means most of the sperm is abnormal and not viable. In this case, your fertility doctor will recommend you and your wife to have an ICSI performed.

If you’re interested what an ICSI consist of, I suggest you to read on here: What is ICSI and when is it indicated?

Hope I could help,
