semen bacteria

Microorganisms are detected from semen when any infection is caused in organs and parts associated with the production or transport of semen. To date, more than 30 microorganisms have been detected from semen, including bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, syphilis and viruses. Common pathogenic microorganisms include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Diphtheria-like bacilli, and Ureaplasma urealyticum. In recent years, many scholars have devoted themselves to reproductive microbiology research and found that the incidence of infertility caused by genital tract infections is four times higher than that of non-infectious infertility, indicating that bacterial infection is a cause of male infertility. In particular, in recent years, sexually transmitted diseases such as genital tract infections caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum, Chlamydia, herpes virus and HIV have become more common, and the resulting damage to male fertility cannot be underestimated. Therefore, by smearing or culturing the semen, the above-mentioned pathogenic bacteria can be found in time, and the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility are of great significance. Basic Information Specialist classification: male examination check classification: semen and prostatic fluid examination Applicable gender: whether the male is fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: There are no pathogenic microorganisms in the semen. Positive: Semen detected pathogenic bacteria. Tips: You need to abstain from sex for 3-7 days before the test. It is recommended to avoid drinking and overwork in the near future. Normal value None (negative). Clinical significance (1) Gram-positive bacteria are found in inflammation caused by genital tract infections, mostly in the urethra, prostate, seminal vesicles and epididymis. The total detection rate of semen in infertile men is 33%. Due to the action of bacterial toxins, sperm production is seriously affected, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm, a decrease in viability and an increase in abnormal sperm. (2) Acid-fast bacilli are common in epididymal tuberculosis. Positive results may be diseases: prostatitis, blood scurvy, epididymitis, acute bacterial prostatitis precautions Clean the external urethra (the foreskin should be turned up), rinse repeatedly with sterile isotonic saline, and then inject the semen into a sterile bottle by massage or masturbation. Inspection process Take a clean glass slide and add a small amount of the first dye solution. Then take a uniform amount of the same material as the dye solution and smear it until it is dry (no need to wash). Then add a second dye solution to cover the slide for about 1 min. Washed, to be examined by dry microscopy. Not suitable for the crowd There are no taboos. Adverse reactions and risks This test generally does not cause complications and harm.
