Not uncommon: Antibiotics alter the enviroment of the bowels,and it is not uncommon to result in diarrhea..Are your prostate symptoms improved? you may stop the antibiotics,check with your doctor.Sit in a warm tub foe 20-30 minutes/day for a week.Sometimes taking 600 mg of IBUPROFEN twice a day after meals helps
