Brief Answer:
Do urine evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
The cystoscopy is almost normal(mild degree of stenosis is common following TURP)
First we have to rule out any urinary tract infection resistant to the antibiotics you were already given.
So, before going for further evaluation, it will be fine if we can get a urine microscopy and urine culture sensitivity test. This will detect any resistant infection and the exact antibiotic to be given.
If this detect any infection, your primary care physician can help you.
Otherwise, you will have to stick on to your urologist.
As there is no any lesion or urethral discharge, there is no need of dermatologist evaluation.
I hope, this will answer your query.
Wishing for a faster cure.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Sorry for the delay. I was a bit busy today.
I have gone through the urine report.
It included physical, chemical and microscopic examination,and the result was almost normal except for few pus cells.
But,unfortunately the most important investigation in this clinical picture-urine culture and sensitivity test-is missing.
Before going for further evaluation, let's do this basic investigation.
Hope this answer will be helpful.
