Prostate infection can last for months
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have infection of Prostate (Prostatitis) and have been taking Ciprofloxacin,
Prostate infection is the most notorious infection that keeps on lingering for months and if ill treated may become a chronic infection (Chronic Prostatitis ) that may last for years but normally it does not precipitate into cancer of prostate ..
It is mandatory to do some specific test to confirm the diagnosis so that one can take appropriate antibiotic to eradicate the infection .
Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
4) Semen examination and Semen culture .
In the mean time continue taking Ciprofloxacin twice daily
