A member asked:
Diagnosis-chronic prostatitis, however semen culture+urine sample shows no pathogens. should i worry about non-cultarable bacteria? sti screen negativ
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If common bacteria and STDs have been ruled out then your chronic prostatitis is a matter of irritation that is common in young sexually active men and things should settle down later on. No need to worry too much at this time.
