For sure prostatitis causes high PSA level. You need to take antibiotic for at least 3 weeks for this condition. Bactrim can cause or exacerbate kidney problem if taking more than one week so your doctor needs to check your kidney function after 10 days to play safe.

I would consider treatment with Cipro for 6 weeks and stay hydrated.
