Taking a prostatic fluid sample for bacterial culture was unsuccessful means what

Patient's question:

Previously, I took a prostate fluid sample and conducted a bacterial culture, but the culture was unsuccessful. I would like to ask what it means if the culture was unsuccessful? Besides these antibiotics, what else could be the reason? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Prostate fluid is a type of secretion in males, and this secretion is also a component of semen. According to the situation you described, such test results can only prove that no pathogens were detected. If no pathogens are detected, it cannot confirm the sensitivity of the antibiotic. Prostate patients can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding standard medical treatment. In daily diet, it is necessary to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
