What Is The Treatment For Streptococcus Virdan?

I've been diagnosed with streptococcus virdan. I've taken several medications such as levaquin, cipro, bactrim, doxycline and many more. The levaquin started working but I quit taking it because I felt better and now I've been having this problem for six years due to the fact I stopped taking my medication. About a year ago, a doctor did a semen culture and I was positive for virdan. He prescribed me penicillin and of course it didn't do anything. Do you have any suggestions of what I need to do because this has been and ongoing process forever

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Going through your history it seems that you are having pyospermia and for pyospermia one has to take antibiotics for at least one month to completely get rid of infection. If you would have come to me I would have repeated your semen analysis and if it showed pyospermia then I would have started you on Levofloxacin and Azithromycin for at least one month.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
