hello I have seen all your reports I think you are in good shape except for the urine problem yes your urologist has diagnosed you properly there is no evidence of cancer prostate at present it looks like prostatitis only what you need is antibiotics course for one month levofloxacin is the best antibiotic for prostatitis as prescribed by your doctor meloxicam is for inflammation and doxazocin is to relax your prostate muscles all of these medicines have side effects but they are very rare we prescribe these medicines regularly and no one had any major side effects so go ahead and finish your medicines course you will be alright
hi doctor I am a 52 year old man my height is 2 and I weigh about 215 labs I work out three times a week I am typically healthy although under a lot of stress in general I drink more alcohol than I should approximately three glasses of wine each night I stay away from food and drinks with sugar other than wine typically my family doctor is english speaking and my urologist is spanish speaking six months ago I noticed that I was urinating more often and when I had to go I felt an urgency to go previously I was told that I had a somewhat enlarged prostate at about centimeters and figured that may have been it or infection and thought that would pass I recently went to my family doctor and he recommended that I get an ultrasound for the prostate the radiology stated the below prostate was well visualized and is enlarged measuring 7 7 4 centimeters there is a nodule that is pressing into the bladder that measures 9 1 4 centimeters this nodule does not have blood flow within as visualized by ultrasound my family doctor then sent me to a urologist I showed him my lab results and he pointed out my spa level of 54 he also pointed out my urine test which said specific gravity 015 hidden blood traces leukocyte esterase oh 0 I can upload that and the blood test I will upload the tests but they are in spanish but the technical words are the same he also did a rectal exam with his finger he told me that he thinks that I almost definitely do not have cancer and I have prostatitis he prescribed levofloxacin 500 my once daily for one month meloxicam 15 my once daily for 14 days doxazosin my taken every night once daily for two weeks I am basically healthy other than having some short term memory problems and stress that may be from having a b12 level of 185 which I discovered two weeks ago and have taken two complex shots for that so far after reading the side effects of these prescribed drugs that scared the crap out of me I do not want to have some reaction and lose my good health are these the drugs you would prescribe what are your thoughts he told me no alcohol coffee or carbonated drinks while taking the medicines that I can do please suggest
