I've done a semen culture test and it says I have a bacteria called staphylococcus aureus with moderate growth. I'm not sure what this means. I had a urinary infection a year ago that didn't seem to go away, and after some tests, I found out I had a bacteria called proteus which got cured with medicine. But now, a month after treatment, the semen test is showing this new bacteria. Can you explain what staphylococcus aureus is and which type of doctor I should talk to about fixing this issue?

The presence of Staphylococcus aureus (moderate growth) in your semen culture test indicates a bacterial infection, which can cause symptoms like discharge, pain, or inflammation; given your history of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and previous bacterial infection (Proteus), consult a urologis

I have a 19mm stone in my right kidney but the measurements say 18.89.213.7mm. Can you clarify if it's actually 19mm or 13.7mm? Is there any way to shrink or dissolve this stone with medication alone, or will I definitely need surgery?

Mostly will need to remove the stone endoscopically

Is it normal if I cum in just a few seconds?

The average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes. If it happens before 1 minute then it's usually considered as pre mature ejaculation which has many reasons.
