Post 2 Weeks, Pain started from left lower stomach to left testicle & lot of discomfort, Post 4 weeks of exposure I went for STD screening where tests came negative for Chlamydia, Gonorhea, HPV, HIV - But found enterococcus faecalis bacteria in urine, I was given an antibiotic Augmentin 1g for 2 Weeks, but is not working. Can you please help.

Are you having a problem treating yours? Treatment usually depends on the site of infection.

It's not an STD, so my knowledge is pretty limited on it. I'm assuming you're under the care of a doctor?

I was just recently last week diagnosed with Enterococcus faecalis. The urologist also indicated I have a boggy prostate. Maybe that's why I have a boggy prostate, I don't know. But all this started after brief sexual exposure. I understand that Enterococcus faecalis is not an official STD, but UTI bacteria transmission can also occur during exposure. I didn't have any of this before the exposure. Doctor has prescribed me Augmentin 875-125 mg (Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) twice a day for 1 week (I think the 875 is the Amoxicillin part and 125 maybe the clavulanic acid). I will take the meds and see if the infection goes away.
What kind of sexual exposure did you have?
Did they find the bacteria in your urine? How long after your exposure did you get symptoms?
It's possible you got a UTI and it's infected your prostate - a "boggy" prostate can indicate inflammation, which can indicate an infection - not always, but often.
Definitely take the meds, and don't stop unless directed to do so by your doctor. There's some resistance to antibiotics, so make sure to take it all, because stopping creates more resistance.

Hello
The original poster is unlikely to log back in and answer your question. It is good that you are seeing a doctor/urologist for this. Continue to work with them, they'll help you.
Who knows where or when you got this. the bacteria mentioned can be: "Nontransmissible; opportunistic infections occur when fecal bacteria are introduced to urinary tract or when normal urination or immune function is impaired"

Good luck,
I hate it when an NGU parasite is involved, as a male I know it hurts and takes a few months to feel better, hang in there. You're going to be okay.

Vance, when I read internet info - a forum says he got this from his girl friend & sexual transmitted.
Can you please advice, I am terrified :(

Vance,
But do you think the source for this bacteria in Man may be due to sexual activity from a partner as UTI is common in women.
