Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have prostate pressure and uncomfortable urination. A few times after sex with my partner, this has happened where I feel the pressure between the scrotum and anus. No discharge from the penis, but I have a burning sensation on urination. Currently, I am taking Bactrim, and I have done the urine analysis test. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From your description, the symptoms you got are of chronic prostatitis. This is a long-term issue, and management can be challenging. It seems that you also tried antibiotics without proper outcome. Proper diagnosis can be made by semen culture. There are two main types of chronic prostatitis one is bacterial, and the other is without bacteria. But both types can respond to antibiotics. The treatment has to be for four to six weeks, but proper antibiotics selection depends on the culture result. You can start tablet Tamsulosin 0.4 mg once at night to ease your urination, and please follow up with semen culture result to enable me to select the proper antibiotic.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Can you able to prescribe antibiotics or just make recommendations?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The commonly used antibiotics for chronic prostatitis are Ciprofloxacin or Clotrimazole, but the antibiotics course is four to six weeks. Therefore, culture result is very important as sometimes you get the bacteria inside the prostate resistant to those antibiotics. A long course of antibiotics will be useless for you. The bacterial will become more resistant to antibiotics, and that will worsen the problem.

If you develop bacterial resistance, you might land on taking injectable antibiotics for six weeks, and that will be bonding for you and costly as well. Semen culture sample will have results in 72 hours then we can start the proper and sensitive antibiotics for best results.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
