A member asked:

Is it possible to have staph in semen and absent in urine?

Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Yes: If you have a prostatitis or epididymitis, it could be possible these structures are infected and thus staph in semen only. Although the two fluids both come out through the urethra they are from separate sources.
