Thanks doc 6 eggs were retrived 3 fertilised 2 were of best quality and tranfered my wife has thyroid and pcos aswell and her last urine report is attached as well

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (5 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
ICSI

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

1) Her thyroid if treated under control is not a problem.

2) Urine report shows infection. She has to give urine for culture and sensitivity test to confirm organism responsible and take antibiotics accordingly.

3) Your hydrocele is not much. I dont think its the reason for low sperms.

4) Please get IVF done in different IVF centre next time as I feel there is something wrong with ICSI though I need detailed IVF summary to comment further.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Semen Culture and Sensitivity

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You hormones seem to be fine.

Please get semen culture and sensitivity test done.

This will show the organism responsible for infection and WBC. You can take antibiotics as per the report.

Since my wife also have wbcs and lecocytes in urine do u think it could be same infection and after infection is gone can my count increase and motility improve

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (20 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
NO

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is unlikely that both are same infection. Anyway culture and sensitivity test for you both will help to solve this question as it will clearly define the organism causing it and antibiotic effective.

Your count and motility is very low and unlikely to be corrected by correcting infection alone. But there is possibility though less chances..
