A member asked:
I have prostatitis and took completed antibiotic course. i want to know do i have to get a urine test to check if still there is bacteria or not?

Usually not: Patients with acute prostatitis, whose symptoms resolve after completing their full course of treatment, usually do not need repeat urine cultures. However, if your symptoms persist or recur, then see your dr for likely repeat urine culture. If it was determined that your prostatitis was due to gonorrhea or chlamydia, then you should consider retest in 3 months to rule out re-infection.

No: Not really. UTI increases risk of prostatitis but vise versa is less likely. Avoid anal intercourse should be avoided.
