I just received the results from my urine test which was part of the work up for pending revision therapy.
The results say that the urine test detected Enterococcus faecalis. I had a UROFILL procedure last week and the surgeon punctured my left cylinder and ruined my implant. I'm really worried that my implant is infected. Anyone have experience with this?
Infection?

Re: Infection?
I suspect you have already read a bunch of the stuff about enterococcus faecalis.
It’s not exactly rare. You can find the bacteria in the gut of many apparently healthy people.
It has the ability to create a biofilm on implanted medical devices.
That raises a great question, but it’s a question you may never get answered: was the implant already infected/coated with a bacterial biofilm which became active when punctured by the urofill doctor’s syringe? Or did the urofill doctor introduce the germ?
As you have read it’s presenting a lot of folks yet causes few if any problems in most. If it’s limited to a UTI treatment is pretty routine/effective. Systemic infections can be a pain in the ass because it can be drug resistant.
Get with your implant doc soonest. This could range from much ado about nothing to a really big deal.
