Targeted antibiotic
Leukocytes in the spermogram mean inflammation - culture names the microbe and selects a working antibiotic instead of empirical courses “blindly”. A significant titer (>10³–10⁴ CFU/ml) is treated with a control culture after a month. Sterility of delivery is critical - instructions and container are provided; results in 4–6 days.
When is it appointed?
- pregnancy planning - basic check of a man;
- infertility of a couple - the first and mandatory analysis;
- control after varicocelectomy and treatment;
- preparation for IVF/ICSI and cryopreservation;
- suspicion of inflammation - culture and Androflor.
Why start with a man
The male factor is involved in half of the cases of infertility, and it is checked in the easiest way: one test instead of months of examining the partner. The WHO 2021 standard defines references; deviations in one sample are not a death sentence (spermatogenesis is cyclical, 72 days), the diagnosis is based on two tests. The clinic provides the correct preanalytical stage - delivery room, immediate analysis, standardized assessment - on which reliability depends more than on the “coolness” of the laboratory.
