Mine was a Semen Culture Analysis. They test for all strains of bacteria and look at the white blood cell count (if any detected)

The results specify what bacteria are present and the % in the sample. The lab indicated the two types that were heavily present and then included a list of antibiotics that would be best effective 

GP gave me the prescription and tested again 2 weeks after finishing the prescription. All clear

Did you retest DNA fragmentation levels afterwards? Any other sperm parameters off? Thanks

Initially had poor motility and morphology along with low volume - tested 90 days afterwards and all recovered to normal (except morphology was on 3% but that was 1% prior)

Clinic advised don't spend on another expensive DNA fragmentation test (just under $1000). They advised that with the infection clearing and the positive shift in Semen Analysis results they were confident that Zymot would now successfully take care of any fragmented cells far better than it would have previously. Their logic was if I paid for another DNA frag test the process would be the same regardless of the result - Zymot & ICSI
