Hello Thanks 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.
