Does Staphylococcus Infection Cause Low Sperm Count?
Question: Sir. I have low sperm count 2milliom and test show that staphloccus acurieus was present with pulse cells of 2 to 4. How can I go by my treatment as I have being on it for more than 3year but no result
Brief Answer:
Send reports of tests done till now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX and welcome to HCM.
Sperm count of 20 million/ml.is required to have a pregnancy.
Hope you have been examined by an Urologist, and hormonal tests like FSH,LH,PRL,testosterone have been done.It's also essential to have a scrotal doppler Ultrasound scan done.According to the reports,if there's a cause for the low sperm count, it'will need to be treated.Ensure your penis skin doesn't touch the semen collecting container or bottle, as it will show up in the report as staphylococcus infection.Infection is not the cause of your infertility.
After the basic tests reports are seen, i can advise regarding further management as an Urologist.
Do feel free to contact me with the reports.
