Does Ciprofloxacin Affects Sperm Count Or Quality?
My husband and are trying to get pregnant and will be having an IUI in a few weeks with my fertility doctor. My husband was recently put on Ciprofloxacin for an infection and I was wondering if this medicine will affect his sperm count or quality. Thanks!

Hi, It will only help to reduce any seminal infection if there is and will not affect the sperms in any way.
If there is infection in the tract it will help decrease or clear it leading to better numbers and motility of the sperms.
Take care,
