Diagnosed With Semen Infection. Taking Zinnat, Still Infection Persists. Cause For Low Sperm Count?
Male 33 yrs; I have been diagnosed with a semen infection from enterococci. I was treated for 5 days with Zinnat 500 1-0-1 as the strain was very sensitive to cefuroxime. Still the semen infection persists with the same bacteria. My sperm count is very less @12mil/ml, motility after 1hr. 10%, morphology 80%, WBC 15hpf, ph 8.0. Please advise.

Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
Look, for fertility, the infection should be treated meticulously.
For that reason, you should consult with your treating doctor for prescribing more appropriate drug.
If oral antibiotic is not helpful intravenous antibiotics should be considered.
