I have frquent urination. my urethral swab cultiure report says 'enterococcus species isolated " what does it means? does it can cured?

Unclear meaning: By itself, it doesn't mean much. A urethral swab is done to looks for urethritis caused by gonorrhea or chlamydia. It does not tell you whether you have a urinary tract infection. For that you would need a urinalysis and a urine culture. If enterococcus is causing a problem, it would be in the bladder, not the urethra. But it's unusual for a 24 year old man to have an enterococcal uti.
