Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about semen analysis.

Following is my reply:

1) Your semen analysis is absolutely normal except for some infection.

2) Pus cells are high and you need to identify the infection causing organism and treat it.

3) Please get semen culture and sensitivity test done to identify the source of infection and treat the same with most sensitive antibiotics that organism is responsive to.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.
