What causes high levels of enterococcus faecalis in semen analysis?
Patient: i had my sperm tested and they found high levels of enterococcus faecalis. prior to this, i had groin pain and minor testicle pain. don t know if that might be related. how did i get infected? i ve never had sex, let alone anal sex (im 17). should i be worried? could this be infertility? thano you very much. Doctor: HelloThanks for query.Your semen analysis has revealed infection due to presence of Enterococcus Faecalis .These organisms are present in perineal area and around opening and migrate through urethra to prostate and seminal vesicles .You need to take appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.This is not due to infertility but may cause infertility due to death of the sperms.Dr.Patil.
