bacterial infection

Dear All,

I have tested positive for ESCHERICHIA COLI  AND ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS on my penis.

Please help me to tell if these are sexually transmitted. Or if now I will have oral sex, kissing, hugging, touching with my girlfriend. Will it be pass on to her.

And what are the risk consequence for these bacteria for my health if I don't go for antibiotics. As doc suggest that you should wait because earlier I was treated for other bacteria as well for 10 days on antibiotics. Please tell me, as from last few days I am started feeling tired, dizziness during day time.

Hi doctor
Thanks for your reply so much. My other symptoms at the moment are extreme fatigue in mind during morning and mild pain in glans penis and irritated meatus a lot after ejaculation. when I lie on bed it's ok. Fatigue is from neck till head. I feel like unconcentrated during my worktime. I had exposure for unprotected oral sex only in dec2013.is it possible that still there can be hidden std in my body which is causing fatigue. All stds negative in 5th month. Last time urine culture turned positive for E.coli > 100.000 cfu/ml.
Please advise asap.Thanks

Hi, what other symptoms do you have? infection can result in Balanitis, which is inflammation of the glans penis. It is usually occurs in uncircumcised men, in whom the smegma collection along with discharge is likely to result in inflammation. If you do have symptoms, the best option would be to have a culture and sensitivity done, to identify sensitive antibiotic and use that.  And any infection can spread. Regards.
