Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about semen analysis report.

Following is my reply:

1. Pus cells alone cannot be reason for infertility.

2. Best way to proceed is to get semen culture and sensitivity test done to identify the organism causing infection and the antibiotic best suited for the infection.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.
