Hi, i have recently got my sperm culture conducted from a few labs and the results are surprising. 1st test result had E.Coli, 2nd had staph and 3rd one had enterococcus.. I have been on antibiotics since and i am wondering whats going on? please advise the next course of action
Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I think probably the way you are collecting sample is improper. E. coli and Enterococcus are fecal contaminants also. I suggest you to get your test repeated after cleaning your perineal region with soap water then collect your sample wearing sterile gloves. Get tested for gram stain and culture and sensitivity. Look out for pus cells in gram stain and correlate with culture results. Start treatment based on sensitivity results. Take care!
