A member asked:

Diagnosed with klebsiella bacteria in sperm. predcribed ciprofloxacin. will this clear it up? year of pain in my penis due to this. what causes it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Klebsiella: This story is strange. Not sure who cultures semen, but this may be a uti, and if it is you need a detailed evaluation by a urologist. Even if you respond to Ciprofloxacin treatment you need further evaluation, because it is very rare for a man to get UTI without some underlying issues, and penis pain just makes it more urgent for you to see someone and get better.
