What Causes Pus Cells In Semen?
hi there! I have my semen analyzed weeks ago..and it is found that I have a pus cells ranging from 4-6. And my doctor asked me to take antibiotics because according to her,it's a factor on having low sperm count. Can I ask what is the normal range of pus cells in semen? and where this possibly came from? Thanks Doc.

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your semen analysis done very recently has revealed presence of 4-6 pus cells .
The presence of 4-6 pus cells is suggestive of infection of either Seminal Vesicle or Prostate which is likely to be the cause of low sperm count (Oligospermia).
You need to take antibiotics like Doxicycline twice daily for 4 weeks to combat infection ..This will help to increase sperm count .
Normal range of pus cells in semen of a normal individual is 1-2 pus cells per high power field .
