Can Having Suffered From Gonorrhea Or Chlamydia Affect Sperm Count?
Dear Dr. I just had report of my semen analysis. In which WBC is 15 – 20 hpf, Motility is 80 – 85%, Sperm Count 186, Vitality is 90%, Total Functional Sperm is 180. However I am very much upset about high WBC. In fact I asked my urologist, but he said no problem, but I under stand that high WBC is the one of the main cause of infertility. A year back I had STD such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and I had treated them by taking antibiotics. After that I had retested my urine twice, but found no infection. I am trying for a baby, but it not happening. Please help me to get suitable solution. Kind Rgds/ PK

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Based on your query and lab findings, my opinion is,
1. WBC count is definitely high in your case, which means there is a infection.
2. However the other parameters are all in the normal range, so there is no need to worry about your report.
3. You can discuss with your consulting doctor regarding the use of antibiotics to clear the infection.
Hope this helps
