Brief Answer:
Presence of pus cells indicate infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
Your semen analysis is well within normal range of WHO standards as far as count,motility and morphology of the sperm is concerned except the fact that presence of 15 pus cells indicate infection either in seminal vesicle or Prostate.
Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Doxycyclin twice daily for one month and repeat semen analysis after one month.
Since your semen parameters are normal there is no reason why you should not father a child after the infection is being controlled.
Thanks and Regards.
