Myths vs Facts

The truth about Staphylococcus in urine and private parts.

Common Myths
  • "Staph in my urine means I have an STI." False — staph is not primarily an STI, though it can be introduced during sexual activity.
  • "Heavy growth of staph needs strong antibiotics immediately." False — quantity and context matter.
  • "Staph in the vagina causes discharge and itching." Misleading — many vaginal symptoms come from other causes like yeast or bacterial vaginosis.
  • "Staphylococcus causes most urine infections." False — E. coli causes around 80% of UTIs. Staph in urine often signals contamination or secondary spread.
Medical Facts
  • Staph normally lives on skin. It's a common skin contaminant in urine samples.
  • Staph in urine needs investigation. It may point to infection elsewhere in the body, not the bladder.
  • Colonisation is not infection. Bacteria being present doesn't mean active infection — symptoms + significant growth + pus cells = infection.
  • Treatment follows testing. Culture and sensitivity results guide the right antibiotic, rather than guesswork.
FAQ

Common Questions About Staphylococcus

It means staphylococcus grew from your urine sample — but that has more than one possible explanation, the most common in Lagos being contamination from skin during collection. It has to be interpreted alongside your symptoms and pus-cell count.
Staph itself doesn't typically cause the discharge seen in yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis. Abscesses or boils in the genital area may drain pus. If you have discharge, you need testing for other causes.
Possible reasons include: it isn't really staph (it's contamination), or you have an underlying condition such as diabetes. Proper testing and a full assessment help find the real reason.
If it's a true infection (high colony count + symptoms + pus cells), we treat based on sensitivity results. Asymptomatic bacteriuria may not need treatment unless you're pregnant or undergoing a urological procedure.
Yes — healthcare-associated staph infections do occur, especially with surgery, catheters, or prolonged hospital stays.

Stop Wasting Money on the Wrong Treatment
