A member asked:

Past week had burning after peeing in perineum.negative for uti bacteria. diagnosed with prostatitis given doxycycline 2 daily.i read its only good if bacteria but uti detected none.prostatitis and uti bacteria different? when meds start working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI and prostatitis can be caused by the same bacteria. Generally antibiotics are given for a longer period in prostatitis. Meds start working immediately= relief from symptom depends on correctness of diagnosis, type of infection and site of infection. If not better best to see a Urologist. Drink plenty of water.
