DEPRIVED AHMED ALI

Answer
Hello Ahmed Ali from Pakistan,

The semen results you gave are severely abnormal.  You describe a count of 10 million (normal is 20 million), but only 5% are actively motile (normal is 60% motile).  That also means that there may be a "functional" problem, i.e. the sperm have an inability to fertilize the egg.  There are no allopathic or homeopathic treatments for this that I know of.  The only viable treatment option is to do IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).  With this method, you only need as many sperm as there are eggs harvested and the sperm is injected into each egg to overcome the functional problem.  You should consult an IVF clinic in your area.   I do not have any reference for you in Pakistan.

Sincerely,
