A member asked:
When a mod amount of leukocytes are found in semen analysis for an asympt person, can a course of doxy be prescribed empirically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, but why?: I would get a semen culture first and i would want to know why the test was ordered. If a man has pain with ejaculation and white cells in semen, i would treat empirically. If it's for fertility, i would repeat the analysis in a couple of weeks.
