Hi,
Yes, it is important to perform a urinalysis or urine culture test to check for the presence of any urinary tract infections or other underlying health issues that may be contributing to the pus cells in your semen. Pus cells in semen may be a sign of infection, inflammation, or injury, and can affect fertility and sexual health.
In addition to a urinalysis or urine culture test, your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as a prostate exam or blood work, to evaluate the health of your reproductive system and identify any potential issues.
Treatment options may include antibiotics or other medications to manage infection or inflammation, lifestyle modifications to support overall health and well-being, or other interventions as needed. It is important to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and medical history.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
