Prostatitis : Uncommon in young males & usually associated with burning sensation plus frequent and urgent urination by day & night. Also difficulties in urination such as dribbling, poor stream or hesitant urination & lower abdominal or pelvic pain. Usually due to infection. Tetracycline must have been prescribed in case of infection & in spite of negative urine test. Suggest you ask prescribing Dr.

Likely infection: Prostatitis is infection (of the prostate). Less common in young men but certainly possible. May also be part of a sexually transmitted disease. Have your doctor specifically check for same
