Hello
Thanks for query .
Your routine semen analysis has revealed presence of 8-10 W.B.C which strongly suggests infection of Prostate (Prostatitis) .
Ideally one should get Semen culture done to find out the precise nature and colony count of bacteria that are causing the infection .The sensitivity pattern of the causative organisms is the main tool to take appropriate antibiotics to eradicate the infection completely .
Since you have not done semen culture you can continue taking Amoxicillin twice daily for one month or else you can get semen culture done and take appropriate antibiotic as per culture report .
