Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 31 years old. I have only one testicle by birth. Can I become a father? Please find my attached semen analysis report. I have few clarifications in my reports. My sperm count is 16 million/cumm, is it normal? I read on internet normal sperm count is above 20 million. My pus cell is in the range of 6-8/hpf, is this normal? Please check my report and clear my doubts and suggest any solution. Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Presence of one testis is sufficient to father a child. However, you have mild oligospermia (low sperm count). You can take tablet Oligocare twice a day for three months and repeat semen test after three months. Kindly get examined for locating the other testis. It needs to be brought down or removed depending on its location and size; otherwise it runs risk of turning malignant. Also, get examined for any varicocele in the testis in scrotum. Do not worry about pus cells, it may be a contamination. If seen in next sample you can add capsule Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for ten days.
