Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX
I have gone through all the reports.
Diagnosis of prostatitis is by excluding common problems causing similar symptoms like cystitis, tuberculosis and cancer.
They have been ruled out and hence a diagnosis of prostatitis is obtained.
This is not a killer disease and hence there should be no serious worry.
Things that could be of help are.
1. Tamsulosin 4 mg.
2. Muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone.
3. Mild anti- anxiety agents at night, like ALPRAZOLAM.
4. Laxatives.
Since no single treatment is effective, u need to try a combination.
To improve urine flow, u may also use BETHENACHOL.
Speak to your doctor on all these issues, get examined, get the required prescription and get well soon.
Best regards

Hi
Welcome back.
Tests required are
1. Uroflowmetry.
2. Semen culture ans antibiotics based on the culture tests for one month at-least.
Treatment.
1. Frequent and regular sex would be of benefit.
2. You need to take all the 4 medicines i had suggested in the first reply for about one month, see the results of the tests and decide further treatment. Side effects wont be worrisome. One thing of mention is that tamsulosin may cause retrograde ejaculation.
Best regards
