A member asked:

Had urine analysis+urine culture both reports r normal no bacteria found in culture. doctor said still have non-bac prostatitis. how it can be cured?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urologist: Some urine cultures will not show all the organisms that cause prostatitis. Hopefully they gave you antibiotics. If still painful see a urologist.
