Hello and welcome to HCM,
The increase in sperm count is not indicative of any disease.
This is common variation seen in semen collected at different times.
Semen collected after sufficient abstinence will show high sperm counts.
Whereas semen collected after sexual activity or ejaculation at short interval will show low sperm count.
The presence of pus cells is significant.
This indicates infection.
A culture report can be negative if there is contamination.
Repeat a culture of the semen collected under aseptic conditions.
A positive culture and subsequent drug sensitivity will help in further management.

Thanks and take care
