Sensitive subject this. I see, even you, had to register a different user, to seek help.

Pole @hardcore.

If it is confirmed that you have chronic prostitis, then you need to take antibiotics continuously for 4 months. Recommended antibiotics are cheap (septrin and ciprofloxacin). Urine cultures may necessitate a different set of antibiotics which should be taken for a minimum 8 weeks. You only need to see your doctor once or twice a month (max 6k a month). Try to reduce the review sessions, because he will do "nothing much" in the 10mins he will be with you. You can refill the prescription at a reputable pharmacy (keep a photocopy of the prescription in-case the pharmacist retains the original). For pain or discomfort painkillers (panadol, brufen) are enough. If your prostate is enlarged, you will need a drug for the relief of pain and swelling. During treatment, it is useful to put warm water (plus a little salt and vinegar) in a karai and sitting in it for 20 minutes. It is also useful to ejaculate (by whichever mode you prefer) often to get rid of infected prostatic fluids. If the cost of treatment is too high or resolution does not happen soon, a prostactectomy (surgical removal of the prostate) may be done. You can live a happy normal life (even sexually) without a prostate.

Get well soon.

Personally, I never dismiss any help given, untill I do my own research. I suggest you RE-THINK your thinking. Health vs embarrasment.

Yes, it's called a sitz bath. Common for most perineum or lower GIT conditions. Most ladies who've had a baby have probably used one.

If Cipro is not well tolerated, a switch can be done to Levo or Moxi, or another class of antibiotics. TB patients take several antibiotics for 6 months or more with most patients successfully getting through the treatment course.

Does anyone know of a good urologist at KNH doctor's plaza?
