Fecal Enterococcus in men - causes and treatment, prevention

Nature implies the presence of foreign microorganisms in human organs, which, in simple terms, are divided into "useful" and "harmful". Balance is important here. This is not to say that the latter are extremely hazardous to health. On the contrary, they even help, but until a certain time, until their active reproduction begins. These include fecal enterococcus. Enterococcus faecalis in a smear is less common in men than in women. According to medical statistics, this family of bacteria "prefers" the fairer sex.

Description

The unicellular particles have an oval shape with a slightly sharpened front edge - a "nose". It is localized singly or in a small chain. If the patient is healthy, this type of bacillus, along with other microorganisms, does not harm, but helps the activity of the digestive system.

The body, thanks to its protective forces, controls the number of such particles, not allowing them to increase their "colonies". However, when immunity is weakened, the bacterium transforms and is no longer harmless, on the contrary, it becomes pathogenic.

The danger is that out of control, enterococcus fecalis begins to multiply rapidly and spread to other components of the body, primarily in the urinary system. Moreover, by their activity, microorganisms provoke the emergence of serious pathologies.

Causes of fecal enterococcus in men

As already mentioned, one of the main factors leading to an increase in the bacillus is a decrease in immunity. There are other threatening causes of occurrence, which should include:

• infectious diseases (also venereal diseases);
• endocrine disruptions;
• vitamin deficiency;
• neglect of hygiene rules;
• unbalanced diet;
• diseases of the digestive system;
• microtrauma of the anus and glans.

In addition, there have been a number of cases where the infection with enterococcus faecalis is even faster. This is observed if the patient has high sugar levels, HIV, or other chronic diseases. Prolonged intake of antibiotics can provoke an increase in pathogenic titers. As a result of antibiotic therapy, beneficial bacteria also die, and pathogenic bacteria take their place.

Symptoms and signs

Initially, the increase in the number of harmful organisms remains almost unnoticed. This is what makes the situation worse, because the person is not even aware of the changes taking place. However, the destructive activity of the wand cannot remain in the "latent" form for a long time. Symptoms appear that clearly demonstrate the development of enterococcus faecalis in men:

• The urine becomes cloudy, whitish-green impurities appear in it;
• Unpleasant-smelling mucus comes out of the opening of the penis;
• The urge to go to the toilet becomes more frequent, while the process of urination causes discomfort and burning;
• Painful bowel movement;
• The aching pains in the lower abdomen, testicles, groin do not go away;
• Suffers severe itching of the anal and urethra;
• Decreased sex drive;
• Erectile dysfunction;
• The patient experiences weakness, rapid fatigability.

If no treatment measures are taken for a long time, there is a deterioration in general health: chills, fever, psychoemotional disorders.

Diagnostic methods

If at least 1-2 of the listed signs appear, you need to see a doctor. This will be followed by a referral for laboratory examination. This is the only way to diagnose internal disorders.

To identify pathological changes in men, the following tests are taken:

Views by localization

The enterococcus bacterium is very widespread in the environment. It also lives in the body of warm-blooded animals, humans. In total, there are 15 subspecies of the family in nature. As for the faecal type of microorganism, it is more often localized in the mouth, rectum. If the activation of its reproduction begins, it "settles" in other places.

Fecal Enterococcus in men can be detected in:

• urethra;
• testes;
• ureter;
• in the prostate.

Test for Enterococcus Faecalis in men, normal

General sampling of biological material for research is taken in the laboratory of a medical institution. If smears and scrapings, as well as blood with urine, are donated with the help of a specialist, then the sperm is collected on its own. This must be done under sterile conditions by masturbation.To accurately determine the sowing of enterococcus faecalis, follow the rules:

• Come to the clinic in the morning, preferably from 8 to 10 o'clock;
• The genitals should be washed, but without the use of soap and other antimicrobial agents;
• Do not drink alcohol for 2 days before the examination;
• Avoid fatty, salty foods, carbonated drinks;
• 3-4 days before the test, refrain from sexual intercourse;
• If you are taking antimicrobial drugs, then you cannot drink them before taking the biomaterial (on the same day), it is better to do this after the tests.

Results are issued, as a rule (depending on the clinic) the very next day. According to their indicators, the infectious disease doctor will diagnose whether there is a fact of the spread of bacterial infection. Assessment of sperm quality allows you to check the activity of sperm and confirm or exclude the presence of prostatitis, which is a frequent consequence of the negative activity of fecal enterococcus.

The increased titer is a cause for concern. The content of unicellular particles is considered the norm:

• In a smear from the urethra - up to 10 to 5 degrees;
• In semen - up to 10 to 3 degrees;
• In urine - up to 10 to 4 degrees;
• In sowing (feces) - from 10 to 5 to 10 to 7 degrees;

A change in indicators upward (in order to avoid negative consequences) requires immediate treatment.

Fecal enterococcus: general treatment regimen

The strategy of therapeutic measures is based on bringing the number of bacteria to normal. Given their extreme survivability, this can be tricky to do.

After passing a laboratory examination, foci of localization of pathogenic organisms are identified. Only after this is medication prescribed.

Treatment of fecal enterococcus in men is performed by different methods, which involve the use of:

• Antibiotics ("Gentamicin", "Ceftriaxone", "Ampicillin");
• Local agents (suppositories, bactericidal solutions, gel);
• dietary supplements, vitamin preparations ("Prostodin", "Pregnavit", "Multi-Tabs", "Vitalux").

When taking antibiotics, you must remember that they affect the microflora, respectively, you should stock up on prebiotics to restore it.

The exact treatment regimen is drawn up by a doctor based on individual indications. In the most severe cases, physiotherapy is prescribed. Along with this, you must follow the correct diet.

Various forums on the Internet contain tips for using folk remedies, but you should not use them. It is not safe to treat bacterial contamination on your own.

Influence on potency and conception

Enterococcus, settling in the genitourinary system, colonizes, to a greater extent, in the prostate gland and urethra, entails an outbreak of inflammation there. Over time, the vital activity of pathogenic particles leads to a weakening of libido. Discomfort in the genitals repels from intimacy.

But an even more serious problem is that negative changes affect physiological abilities. Pathogenic organisms trapped in the seminal fluid harm the sperm, which first lose their mobility, then die altogether. Thus, the question is not only about the effect on conception, but also about infertility in men.

One of the serious consequences of infection with enterococcus is prostatitis. Accordingly, sexual health deteriorates, potency becomes weak. Over time, this leads to chronic erectile dysfunction that cannot be completely cured.

Consequences and complications

Launched infection with enterococcus faecalis leads to fatal consequences. Serious diseases and conditions develop gradually:

• pyelonephritis;
• urethritis;
• endocarditis;
• central nervous system disorder;
• pelvic, intra-abdominal infections;
• enterococcal meningitis.

Conclusion: if the norms are exceeded, immediate action is required.

Prevention

To protect against the unpleasant consequences of the growth of bacteria of fecal enterococcus, you must observe daily prevention.

Completely "expel" enterococcus faecalis from the body will not work. But excessive reproduction can be reduced. REMEMBER: any pathological condition is easier to treat at the very beginning of development. And if the first, even minor, changes in health began to bother you, you should immediately contact a specialist. Nothing will "dissolve" by itself, but it is quite possible to irretrievably ruin men's health by ignoring the symptoms.
