Question about SA results
4

Hi,


Does anyone know what white blood cells in semen mean? I know they are not normal but what do they indicate? And why are they harmful to fertility?


We got DH's SA results on Friday and he has low volume, problems with morphology, and white blood cells in the semen. The RE told him to go to a urologist before visiting with her but we will be away for a few weeks and the next appt he was able to make is a month away. I understand the first 2 issues but I'm not sure about the white blood cells and couldn't find very much info about it. And that is what she was the most concerned about.


Anyone know anything about it?

The white blood cells could mean infection.
