Normal: Coagulase negative staph is among the most common of all bacteria on our skin and in all body openings. It is almost always harmless. Finding it semen usually just means the organism lives normally in your urethra. In very rare cases, its presence might indicate infection that needs treatment, depending on symptoms and other issues. Discuss w/ the doctor who ordered the test.
