I've recently gotten my semen analysis results back and everything seems normal except for my PUS cell count, which is at 57 hpf, while the epithelial count is only present in small amounts. Could this high PUS cell count be affecting my fertility? My wife and I are having trouble conceiving, and I'm wondering if this might be the issue. Should I see a doctor for this, or can taking a good antibiotic help resolve it?

Your semen analysis shows a slightly elevated pus cell count (5-7hpf), which may indicate a mild infection or inflammation. This alone might not directly affect fertility, but its worth consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. A targeted antibiotic course, if needed, could help, but additional tests might be required to assess other fertility factors for both you and your wife.

View allI've got a 7.5mm stone causing wave-like pain in my lower back and abdomen how can I pass it naturally or do I need surgery? Could it damage my kidneys or other organs if it stays too long?
A 7.5mm kidney stone causing wave-like pain in your lower back and abdomen is likely to require medical intervention, such as surgery, or procedures like lithotripsy to break it down, as it's less likely to pass naturally. If the stone remains lodged in the ureter, it can cause severe pain, increase the risk of infection or kidney damage, and potentially impact other organs over time.

I'm really wondering about what to do next. I was using Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP 0.5 for phimosis for the last couple of months while I was in America. Now that I'm in India, I'm finding it hard to find the exact same thing. I've heard about Betnovate and Diprovate G as possible alternatives. Could one of these be a good replacement, or is there something else I should consider? I'm honestly a bit concerned about switching and just want to make sure I'm continuing with the right treatment.
For phimosis, you can consider Betnovate (Betamethasone) or Diprovate-G (Betamethasone with Gentamicin). Both are effective, but Diprovate-G may help if there's an infection component due to the presence of Gentamicin. However, I recommend consulting your doctor to ensure the right choice based on your specific condition.
