Should I extend my Levo course?
I am diagnosed with chronic bacterial prostatitis. About 6 weeks ago I started peeing a lot of blood. Rushed to the ER, got tests and IV antibiotics, and got put on a few antibiotics for UTI's. Urine sample from ER showed 60,000 to 100,000 E coli. Symptoms came back 3 days after ending a 7 day long course from the ER doc and that's when I saw a urologist. I got another urine test 3 days after when the blood in urine came back but there was 0 bacteria detected in my urine. The urologist did say that my prostate felt inflamed and it was likely the prostate that bled into my pee. Now I'm on Levo prescribed by the urologist. Original script was 4 weeks but I got it extended by another 2 after seeing the horror stories on here. I felt totally fine a few days after starting the Levo. I'm 5 days away from finishing this 6 week long course and don't have major symptoms but I'm really worried about this coming back after I finish the Levo. I do have some slight symptoms like precum and my prostate gets sore after sitting at work all day. I never in my life saw precum and prostate was never sore before. If I still have these symptoms would it be fine to ask the urologist to extend by another 2 weeks or is it pointless after a 6 week long course? I'm taking 1,200mg of NAC every single day and 600mg of ibuprofen. With this much ibuprofen, my prostate still gets sore after work so clearly something else possibly bacteria is irritating it right?
