I have a chronic E. coli infection in my semen culture; what antibiotics or medications should I take to treat this?

Asked by Male, 35 · 2 hours ago

A chronic E. coli infection in semen culture often indicates chronic bacterial prostatitis. To cure this, antibiotics must penetrate the prostate gland effectively. Doctors commonly prescribe generic fluoroquinolones (like ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin) or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Since the prostate tissue is hard to penetrate, treatment usually requires a longer course of 4 to 6 weeks. Please do not self-medicate. It is essential to consult a urologist who will review your culture's sensitivity report to prescribe the exact antibiotic that kills your specific strain of E. coli. This condition is highly treatable with the right targeted therapy.
