Yes, leukospermia is an increase in the number of leukocytes, also known as white blood cells or pyocytes, in the semen. If there is an abnormal number of white blood cells in the semen, it may cause sperm agglutination and, as a consequence, sperm motility will be reduced.
Another effect of a large number of leucocytes in semen is that it increases oxidative stress and may reduce sperm concentration.
As a result, leukospermia may hinder the chances of pregnancy. In these cases, it will be necessary to treat the seminal condition before trying to achieve pregnancy.
