I was on TRT for about 10 years. About 2 years ago, I had a kidney stone that kicked off a long chain of events for me. I passed the 6 mm long x 2.5 mm wide stone after 3 weeks. About a month later, I kept having burning, hesitancy, yellow / chunky semen and urgency. The doctor gave me an antibiotic (Bactrim) as a precaution. I felt ok on that for 2 weeks. It seemed to help for about a month and the symptoms came back. They did a CT Scan. All was fine. I was given another round of Bactrim, and the same occurred. The urologist wanted to then do a cystoscopy. I had that which he noted nothing. He said, maybe you should see a urologist. I saw my PCP, and he said I need to find a new urologist. I found a new one. I also stopped TRT to rule that out as a variable. He did a digital exam and actually expressed semen onto a glass slide and said he saw evidence of prostatitis. He put me Ciprofloxacin for 2 weeks. It seemed to work but I had terrible side effects. I went back, after a month, told the doctor I felt good but it was starting to come back. He actually said, it's all in your head. The antibiotics I gave you are enough. Maybe you should seek counseling (true quote).
Anyhow, I started to do research and actually started myself of Prostamax peptide. That was promising as well, but as soon as I was off of it, again it comes back. All the symptoms.
I do more research and found MicroGenDx testing. I submitted a urine and semen sample. They did the testing and reported back bacteria found and which antibiotic is most effective, and which will not work. I did some research using ChatGPT and found multiple studies on the bacteria I have and chronic prostatitis I took it all to my family doctor (PCP) and explained, throwing myself on his mercy asking if he could follow the recommended antibiotic in the studies. He agreed, and prescribed be Fosmamycin 3 g packets every day for 1 week, and every other day for 6 weeks. I am on week 1 1/2, and the change has been incredible. All symptoms completely gone. I have hope for the first time in a while.
I'll report back when more time passes, but so far I couldn't be happier.
