Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, 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 had stabilized somewhat, and I had returned to my previous urination frequency. I want to have a follow-up checkup. 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 stabilization. In this case, you can have a follow-up examination of the prostate. During the treatment process, medication generally will not have a significant impact on the examination results, and there is no need to stop the use of antibiotics or postpone the examination time due to the examination.
