Leukospermia and pregnancy

As is known, in 40% of cases of infertility, problems are observed by men. So, cases where the reason for the absence of pregnancy with regular sex are often the leukospermia observed in men, and with little or no characteristic symptoms.

What is leukospermia?

This pathology is to increase the content of leukocytes in the ejaculate. There is a similar phenomenon, when a man has inflammatory processes in the reproductive organs. Normally, 1 ml of ejaculate should contain no more than 1 million leukocytes. If this value is exceeded, they talk about the development of pathology.

Because of what is the disease developing?

As mentioned above, the main of many causes of leukospermia, is the inflammatory process in the organs of the male reproductive system. In most cases, this is an urogenital infection of bacterial origin that can affect the testicles, urethra, the vas deferens and the prostate.

How is treatment carried out?

An important role in the treatment of leukospermia is assigned to its diagnosis. Therefore, before treating leukospermia, it is necessary to determine where the focus of the infection is located. To this end, the man is given a whole range of laboratory tests, including ELISA , PCR diagnostics . Often, for the establishment of the pathogen, the secretion of the secretion of the prostate and the urethra is carried out on special nutrient media.

The very same treatment is reduced to taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, the choice of which completely depends on the type of pathogen. Therefore, they are appointed exclusively by a doctor.

Thus, in most cases, leukocytospermia and pregnancy are incompatible concepts. This is explained by the fact that an increase in the content of leukocytes in the sperm of men adversely affects the state of spermatozoa, which become less mobile.
