Question 1

diagnosed with klebsiella bacteria in sperm. predcribed ciprofloxacin. will this clear it up? year of pain in my penis due to this. what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Klebsiella: This story is strange. Not sure who cultures semen, but this may be a uti, and if it is you need a detailed evaluation by a urologist.  Even if you respond to Ciprofloxacin treatment you need further evaluation, because it is very rare for a man to get UTI without some underlying issues, and penis pain just makes it more urgent for you to see someone and get better.

Question 2

32 yr old male with uti taking cipro (ciprofloxacin). 
a. will it affect my sperm count?
b. can antibiotics affect child?
c. will it affect sperm later,created today?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is overall safe.  It does weaken some tendons but should have no direct effect on your sperm.  If it does affect sperm it would be on the sperm currently developing which won't be mature until approximately 70 to 90 days later.

Question 3

pain at tip of penis & 4 uti for a year. had every test and seen urologist. klebsiella found in sperm. 6 weeks of cipro, (ciprofloxacin) no effect. what is this? help

Accepted Answer

See professionals...: You need to see, talk, and work closely with a trustworthy urologist to figure out what may be the reasonable approach for you.  It's not a good idea to guess online at this time.

Best luck...

Question 5

masturbating 5 times a day for several years in tennage had made my semen very  thin,very less white and less in amount. than i reduced my frequency and now my semen is very thick and white. am i normal in terms of sperm count and fertility?

Accepted Answer

No worries yet: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It is not harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not stunt height, cause acne or hair loss, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage vision.

Question 6

hellow sir
sperm count:110m/ml.....sperm motility active 35.....sluggish 20 and inactive 45 percent....test result:semen of reduced physiological sign?

Accepted Answer

SPERM COUNTS: The strict world health organization definition of normal is quite stringent. This along with many people's samples changing even week by week can make it difficult to go by. There are routinely form issues with sperm and motility can be active but little forward progression etc.

Question 7

how long does it take for sperm count to come back to normal after discontinuing propecia (finasteride) 1.25mg daily for hair loss? trying to conceive with no luck and husband has noticed reduced speed count?

Accepted Answer

: Have your husband see a Urology MD who specializes in fertility issues to have this question answered. There are many causes of depressed sperm production that a history and physical examination can uncover. Meanwhile you should also seek a Consultation with a GYN MD/Fertility specialist to make sure your reproductive system is ready for conception as well.

Question 8

i masturbate every day it will reduce my sperm counting or it will affect my test so my wife catches on?

Accepted Answer

It may: It may decrease the count. That's one of the reasons we say to not ejaculate for 2-3 days before the test. However, if you ejaculate daily, you can do the test with no abstinence and it will tell you what your true fertility potential is in a real life situation.

Question 9

how we calculate the semen's sperm counting, how doctor takes the semen for test?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation: The man usually gives a sample at the fertility center by masturbating into a cup after 2-3 days of abstinence. Alternatively, but not optimally, for men who can't or won't masturbate we have a special condom that collects semen after intercourse.

Question 10

my hubby is on day 3 (of 10) of taking cipro for a kidney infection & i'm going to be ovulating soon. will the cipro cause abnormalities in his sperm?

Accepted Answer

No: It will have no effect on his sperm.
