Question: Prostate symptoms or STD? I've had serious pain in my prostate area for almost three months now. Sometimes it's pretty centralized in my groin area, and other times it feels like it has moved down into my inner thigh area. This started not too long after I had a pretty serious urinary tract infection. Other than the "prostate" pain, I also have "hot flashes" in my pubic region. Feels like I'm sweating, but there's no moisture. Also, there is sometimes a prickly feeling in or around my urethra! There is no discharge that I can tell. Good grief!!!\n\nI went to my physician. My prostate is enlarged (3 on a 10 scale). He said it sounded like a prostate infection, and prescribed antibiotics. I've taken three weeks worth of doxycycline and two weeks of cipro. It hasn't made much if any difference.\n\nThe "prostate" pain is much worse if I do a lot of sitting. If I'm up moving around a lot or lying down, the pain lessens after a while (like by the next day). \n\nMy partner (f) got an STD screen and was negative. Now what?

Answer: Go back to the doctors and ask him to refer you to a urologist
