Prostate issue

It sounds like you have definitely had a UTI. A UTI will cause your PSA to read high. I don't understand why they are giving you ultrasound for a UTI. Are they trying to measure the size of your prostate, by rectal ultrasound? Are they trying to measure post void residual urine in your bladder by abdominal ultrasound?

If the infection is in your bladder they should test your urine for bacteria and determine which antibiotic to use. If the infection is in your prostate, like it sounds like, they should test your semen for bacteria and determine which antibiotic to use.

You should be seeing a Urologist, not a general practitioner.

hi everyone. U can catch bacteria other then typical sexually transmitted through oral sex. The reason why it is not picked up by your GP is because they are doing the wrong test. NHS guidance is also rubbish because is instructing GP to do cheap test first (dip stick test) . It is not accurate enough and only picks up serious UTI . They are looking for UTI symptoms but those are not there yet. Despite the fact that you are having small amounts of bacteria. I'm taking NHS to court over it. GP will not do urine culture test if dip stick test shows nothing. And this is massive mistake. I can bet a house with you that you suffer with chronic bacterial prostatitis. Most likely Enterococcus faecalis or E.coli. The second one is easier to treat. First one much harder. You may have both. Enterococcus over the time destroys kidneys. E.coli may cause sepsis. Do not listen to your GP. They literally know nothing. They will prescribe you cream for rush if you lucky and leave you to die. If you insist for more throughout tests and referral to urologist , GP will mark you in your medical file as a anxiety guy. That will shut down all the doors for ya. Disgraceful but true. First request your medical records. I guarantee you that your urine culture test (if they done one for you ) will state ,, no significant growth ". But your useless GP would tell you that it is all normal/no action needed. Not true. That is only the case if your report states ,, no growth ". No significant growth means that there is a growth (bacteria) but only small quantity which at present doesn't cause UTI (but will do eventually in the future). Your GP should act on it , especially that you have a symptoms. But he will not do anything because he strictly follows NHS guidance without using his brain and is not linking symptoms together to build a bigger picture. That small growth of bacteria will within time multiple and move to your prostate causing acute prostatitis. Then we have up to 3 months to cure it (99% success rate) after that it becomes chronic (about 70% chance to cure it) . Acute prostatitis usually needs 4 weeks of treatment by IV (drip). You may get additional 2 weeks after that with oral medication. Ciprofloxacin is dangerous. It done more damage to my health then the bacteria itself. The longer you are taking it the worst side effects. Some permanent. To have 100% certainty you must do semen culture test followed by Stamey test. In UK its very hard to find urologist who will do it for ya. Good luck all and I hope it will help at least one person by taking right steps before it is too late.
