Does taking antibiotics affect a prostate fluid test?

Patient's question:

Recently, I contracted bacterial prostatitis, and the doctor prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. After taking them for a week, my urinary frequency, urgency, and difficulty urinating have stabilized somewhat, and I have returned to my previous urination frequency. I want to have a follow-up check. Does taking antibiotics affect the examination of prostatic fluid?

Doctor's answer:

As you mentioned, the situation of bacterial prostatitis has recurred. Currently, after active antibiotic anti-infection treatment, there has been significant stability. In this case, you can review the prostate. During the treatment process, medication generally will not have a significant impact on the test results, and there is no need to stop the use of antibiotics or postpone the test time due to the test.
