Doxycycline is not the drug of choice for bacterial prostatitis. I do not use it without a culture result which indicates the bacteria are only sensitive to Doxycycline. Rectal exam alone is not the correct way to diagnose the acute bacterial prostatitis. I am not sure why she prescribed a NSAID first for one week before antibiotic. You need to see the urologist and request a formal urine tests.

Hesitancy is a vague symptom and not necessarily indicative of prostatitis which is acute or chronic. In acute there is fever chills dysuria etc. In chronic there is pain? discomfort in the prostate area, and other urinary symptoms and is relatively uncommon ate your age. With your description I do not believe you had a prostatic problem.
