This Semen Infection Case Study highlights a patient who came to our clinic after trying to conceive for 2.5 years without success. Upon initial analysis, our laboratory team discovered a high number of round cells in his semen, which are usually white blood cells and often indicate inflammation or infection. Recognising the potential impact on fertility, we recommended further testing to confirm the presence of a semen infection.
Specifically, we carried out a semen culture and sensitivity test. The results confirmed the growth of Escherichia coli, a common bacterial cause of male reproductive tract infections. Following these findings, the patient underwent targeted antibiotic treatment to address the infection.
Six months later, we repeated his semen analysis. The results showed a marked improvement in sperm concentration, motility and overall semen quality. This recovery emphasises the importance of identifying and treating infections promptly, as even minor bacterial growth can significantly affect fertility.
In summary, this Semen Infection Case Study demonstrates how thorough testing, early intervention and tailored treatment can restore fertility potential. For couples facing infertility, timely evaluation of semen infections is crucial to improving the chances of conception.
