are puss cells in semen treatable

i have been married for a year now and my wife is not pregnant. from semen test i did last week my doctor said i have puss cells of 10-15 hpf. i am worried that it may not be treatable because i have been battling with prostatitis for some years now and i've been taking a lot of antibiotics. the doctor gave me oflaxacin and says it will clear up with time but my semen yielded no growth when it was cultured. am very confused and cant even go to work. will i ever impregnate my wife? my sperm count and other parameters are said to be good by my doctor.

Hi!
I am certainly not an expert on prostatitis ( you may wish to post your question in the urology forum -- they should know more) but I do believe that it is usually treatable.
If your sperm count is normal, then chances are good that you will eventually have children.  You might wish to discuss your case with your wife's doctor too.  That person might suggest Intrauterine Insemination because with this procedure, the sperm are washed, and white cells are removed.
They might also wish to run some tests to be certain that your wife has normal fertility.
Good luck!

i'll surely heed ur advice about seeing my wife's doctor. i saw a urologist before my wedding. i did a lot of tests then and he gave me some antibiotic and said i'll be fine. unfortunately for me, he's the only urologist in town. you've cleared my worries. am grateful. wasn't really sure if i was qualified for IUI. thanks again.
