  1. About three months ago I was diagnosed with a case of acute bacterial prostatitis. I was put on a four week course of ofloxacin. My urine samples were negative for bacteria but from what i understand, this is common for prostatitis sufferers. I have recently been experiencing some discharge after urination. No real burning, or blood in urine, but a weak stream and the same lower back pain that I experienced the first time around. Should I go back to get examined even though I have my appt with a urologist in about a week and a half? I would like to be antibiotic free in case the uro wants a sample of prostatic fluid for culture. I’m afraid just because of the history they’ll stick my on another long course of quinolones (which by the way caused major pain in my hips after long term use) Are there other anti-microbials that are as effective as quinolones. I’m worried if I leave it to long it will spread to my bladder or my urethra. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  2. I have brownish sperm. Is this normal?
  3. Every time i eat i feel sick at the top of my stomach only the top where the stomach connects and i have puked from it i have learn to hold it down. Even drink does it and now sometimes i get this heat burning all over my abdomen then i get sick but sometimes it’s before i get sick. Can someone help me? Thank you. Also its when I’m in the middle of eating sometimes sooner then that! It’s been going on a few months now maybe longer i always ignored it but now it’s gotten 10x worse. I also have this strange bruise like thing on my left ribcage it doesn’t hurt and it was going away but it came back and i have also been feeling very lightheaded.
  4. I am an 18 year old girl. I started sweating excessively in the plantar, palmar, and axillary regions when I was about 14. I sweat uncontrollably during the day, even when I’m relaxed. At night time however my sweating decreases dramatically and becomes normal. My skin is also reddish, marbley, and cold during the day too, but at night it gets warm and returns to it’s normal color. I also don’t sweat much when I exercise or when its cold outside .My doctor gave me a prescription for 20% aluminum chloride solution but it didn’t really help.. What could possibly be the cause of the excessive sweatiness throughout the day and the normalcy at night? What can I do to make it stop?
  5. im 47 and 4 days ago my whole pelvic area felt “bruised” and has felt the same since. I dont have any problems going to the bathroom but my bladder area is tender and i also have fluctuating temps. the only thing ive noticed different is my urine is quite darker than normal and im also drinking considrably more water.

I am trying to urinate but with difficulty. I had a checked up by a Doctor few weeks ago and everything was okay. Also when I am ejaculating the semen does not come out fast but slowly.

The symptoms you are describing are often caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy but can also be secondary to prostatitis. Therefore, a prostate exam is warranted. Patients who experience decreased urine flow with a physical exam suggestive of an enlarged prostate are often put on a trial of flomax (tamsulosin). A painful prostate suggests prostatitis and these patients are often put on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.

Other causes of decreased urine flow and decreased flow of semen include urethral strictures, urinary tract infections, drugs (nasal decongestants, antidepressants, allergy medications), or neurologic disorders.
