Just got my sperm test. The doctor is stunned and so am I. How is it possible? What to do next?
Results:
sperm capacity – 2,83 ml (norm: > 2ml);
viscosity – 1 cm (norm: <2>40 millions/ml);
sperm whole count – 93,4 millions;
mobility – 0% fast, 16% moderate, on spot 19%, immobile 65% (norm: >25% fast)
morphology – 0% normal (norm >10%), 99% head defect, 58% middle part, 61% tail defect, 1% development errors.
How’s that? I can’t believe it’s possible taking a pill so wide spread for such a little time… but it is. The character of my semen changed within a day or so: it’s amount decreased by like 2/3, it became transparent and somewhat watery and jelly, its volatility became nonexistent. Any suggestions what to do next?
Immediately after getting the results I called my GP and was able to get an endocrinologist appointment right away. She told me that she doesn’t believe low FSH could cause it, because the sperm count itself is pretty high and the defects are coming from the testicles. I as well showed her my hormone test results and she found nothing to worry about, though my estradiol and LH are above the reference ranges. Umm… so finasteride affects the testicles somehow?
