Semen Test Result : A Gram Positive Cocci
my semen test showed a result of gram positive cocci. My urine test was negative but my semen sometimes really smells fishy upon ejaculation (which is why I have it tested - although the test sample did not smell). I don't understand what this means can you help me please

Hello
Thanks for query .Based onthe faacts that you have posted You have Semen Culture which revealed infection due to gram positive Cocci .
Semen constitutes thre components
1) Sperms
2) Secretions of Seminal Vesicle (Fructose )
3) Secretions from prostate which liquefy semen.
In majority of cases the infection of semen is due to infection of either Prostate (Prostatitis) or Seminal Vesicle (Vesiculitis) .
You need to take appropriate antibiotics as per culture report for 4-6 weeks to get complete cure of this infection ,
