Hey guys,

Just got my follow-up semen culture results back, and here’s what we’re looking at:

- Staphylococcus species (coagulase-negative): 1000 CFU/ml

I already finished a full course of antibiotics that were prescribed to me previously.

What do you all think? Any insight?

29 y/o.

Thanks!

Enterococcus spp. is basically a bacterium that lives in your gut—it’s a normal resident there. But once it starts showing up in high numbers in your urinary tract or genital system, that's when things get messy. It can actually tank sperm motility, which might mess with fertility a bit.

If it needs treating, we use antibiotics that it's sensitive to. Ideally, if there's good sensitivity and no allergies, semi-synthetic penicillins are the go-to choice.

As for the rest of those semen analysis numbers, it's not always a case of more being better, but I can give you my take on that once you tell me exactly what we're looking at.

Best, 🙂

Listen,

thanks for the input. If I've got this straight, should I be asking my primary care doctor for Amoxicillin?

And about that semen analysis—maybe I phrased it poorly: all the values are 3 times BETTER, not necessarily just HIGHER than the reference range.

Hey everyone,

I could really use some help interpreting these results from my "ejaculate bacteriology" test;

- Microscopic specimen: polymorphonuclear: 0

- Enterococcus species: 100,000 CFU/ml

- ampicillin: S
- ciprofloxacin: S
- norfloxacin: S

LEGEND: S-sensitive, CFU- colony forming units.

I’m in my late twenties, and I had this done because my wife's OB-GYN ordered it to check our fertility. Just a heads-up: all my numbers from the semen analysis (taken from the exact same sample) are at least three times higher than the standard reference ranges.

Thanks in advance.

The movie sucks. It’s not one of those "so bad it's good" gems—it’s just straight-up bad.

I think what you mean is "I personally think the movie sucks." It's all about taste, man. I actually love it when a movie doesn't try too hard and just lets me zone out for a couple of hours.

Look, I wasn't exactly some Einstein in my high school physics class either, but if I remember correctly, they've been teaching us the same stuff forever—gravity pulls things down at 9.82 m/s squared, right?

If you ask me, this is easily the most badass movie of the year—at least until "The Expendables" or "Machete" hit the big screen. It’s mostly just a blast; sure, it drags a little in a few spots, but overall it does exactly what it sets out to do: give you two hours of laughs and pure relaxation. I’d recommend this to any guy looking for a good time! 👍
