How To Heal Infected Prostrate With Symptoms Like Ache In Groin, Burning Whilst Urination While On Ciprofloxacin 500mg?
I have been taking ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for ten days whilst on holiday as I had an ache in my groin and tingling / burning whilst urinating or subsequently in my penis. Urine tests indicated no bacteria and the only significant result was leuc esterhase at 10 - 25 indicating inflammation. The doctor thought I probably had infected prostate. I fly home tomorrow morning, my course ends at the same time and the symptoms are still present although a little better. Do I need to get some more antibiotics to take until such time as I can see a doctor in the UK - probably monday or should I simply wait until my return

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
You have been suspected for a prostate infection while the symptoms are suggestive of Urinary tract infection. Since you are on ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily for last 10 days and improvement is there, you can continue it for 5 more days.
Along with this urine alkalizers can be taken and drink water in excess.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
