A member asked:

Have enlarged prostrate,(psa 4.9)put on ciproflaxin 500g per day.after 15 days still having burns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urologist: I trust a urologist is involved, if not, consult one for proper diagnosis and treatment. If there is a prostate infection, that dose of ciprofloxacin would be ineffective.
