Antibiotics for infertility?

Posted By Lydia on August 05, 1998 at 17:14:13:







Hello:
       Our situation is this: My husband has is his SA 8 PH High viscosity and low citric acid, his count always have been low, so has his motility, he  was prescribed Cipro 500 last month for 10 days, his count went high, but after leaving it again down. Now his Dr says to take it a month, he has been on it 3 weeks and we did a IUI and his count was great. My question is why is the antibiotic workking if no bacteria was found in a culture semen? How long can he be on antibiotics? We are afraid of leaving it now.  What does it means his citric acid is low? Is always 100 and must be 400.  It means a prostate problem?
Well thanks for the help!     Lydia
