I have been experiencing constant urethral pain for the past two months. After consulting a doctor, I underwent a urine flow test, and based on the results, I was prescribed Levoflox and Alfoo for one month, followed by Alfoo alone for another month. Despite completing the medications, the pain has not reduced. Please advise on what can be done to overcome this problem.

Persistent pain despite treatment may need further evaluation. It could be due to chronic prostatitis or nerve related sensitivity. Kindly revisit your urologist for next steps. Urine culture, PSA test, Prostate ultrasound advised.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - URINE (AUTOMATED) Test or Take a TOTAL PROSTATIC SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (PSA) - ULTRASENSITIVE Test

Question

My urine culture shows E. coli resistant to many drugs, including ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. However, in a different, well established lab (operating since 1965), the same test done three times shows the bacteria are susceptible to these drugs. Which lab results should I trust? How is it possible to get two different results for the same bacteria? The prior lab used automated sensitivity testing, while the other lab reports in vitro DST results
