This nightmare started 2 years ago. I thought I had a UTI, my symptoms started with urgency. The symptoms gradually got worse. Pain in the tip of my penis, burning urethra, now it feel like the seminal vesicles are infected. I feel sore in this area. I have seen 3 urologist and a Gp physician these have no idea on what to do!! I have been on bactrium for 6 wks, doxy for one month, levaquin one month, and now Avelox. Which I have been on for 6 wks. With no improvement. I finally talked a urologist to order a prorate/demon culture which came back as staph E. I was put on levaquin after this culture. The doctors have said aww that probably a contaminate. I have had urine cultures done and none has came back with staph. How can I get these Doctors to treat the culture results. I work in a hospital so it could be a resistant staph. I so frustrated with these doctors. I don't think they understand the misery I in. Please can anyone help?? My quality of life has diminished by 50%. And when I have sex it seems to flare up my symptoms.
