Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts and report of your semen culture that you have posted it appears that you have pain in pubic area and testicles due to acute Prostatitis and had done semen culture which revealed E-Coli infection and organisms being highly sensitive to Ampicillin and combination of Amoxycylin and .Clavulanic acid.
Please note that Prostatitis takes long time to get cured hence one has to take appropriate antibiotics as per culture report for a period of 6-8 weeks,
Please switch over to combination of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily
This will get cured within 6-8 weeks .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,
