Gp checked urine for uti,no sign of uti. also did prostate exam inserting finger via rectum, said was fine. does that totally exclude prostatis?

No: Prostatitis is largely diagnosed by symptoms assessment and history rather than by a "positive test". urinalysis and urine culture are often negative with prostatitis
