Repeat semen culture: Should return to your dr., you may have mild epididymitis or orchitis &/or persistence or recurrence of original infection. Also worthwhile having your partner checked for an std. Good luck.

Need cultures: This could be either orchitis (infection in testicle) or epididymitis (duct from testes out). These infections can be hard to treat. You need repeat cultures to asure infection is cleared and if not cleared to diagnose what infection is present & to twhich antimicrobial is best. Sometimes a long course of antibiotis is needed to eradicate. Should have partner checked & treated if infected also.
