Rick L #1 / 4	>>>>>>Opinions Please<<<<<<<<<< For several months I had increasing problems with urination, i.e., frequency, ugency, dribbling, etc. I also had transient pain at the tip of my {filter} which would become worse as I needed to urinate and the subside following urination. I saw a urologist here (I live in Taiwan) and he gave me a urine test (midstream) and then Prostrate massage and another urine sample. The midstream urine had one WBC The prostrate message sample had 50. He gave me an injection of a anti-microbial and one week of a twice daily assortment of pills which he described as anti-microbials and something to shrink (?) the prostrate. The pain at the tip of my {filter} went away after about the 3rd day and the dribbling improved some along with the frequency. When I went back to see him yesterday (after one week) he found 5 WBC in my midstream urine and even more in my prostatic secretion...actually the were all clumped together and almost covered the entire tv screen. What does it sound like I have and why would the WBC's increase following an injection and a week on anti-microbials. Opinions would be much appreciated as I am not really able to comminicate well with the doctor. Thanks

Sounds like he diagnosed bacterial prostatitis and over the net we have no reason to disbelieve him. Based on the experience of this group (which may not be typical), I would think you should have a month of anti-microbials. To shrink the prostate is probably(?) Proscar. That means that your prostate felt large to him. Proscar (according to the manufacturer) may take up to 6 weeks to start shrinking your prostate.

The anti-microbials are not killing your microbes. 2. The WBCs aren't fighting bacteria, they're doing something else (that they probably shouldn't be).

These are symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Smear of the anterior urethra may contain pus cells. Have a complete tests as outlined in my Art. 6 found in my website.

This 3 glass urine of diagnosing prostatitis, has been replaced by direct examination of the prostatic fluid obtained after a massage. Quote: > He gave me an injection of a anti-microbial and one week of a twice > daily assortment of pills which he described as anti-microbials and > something to shrink (?) the prostrate. The pills maybe antibiotics and "something to shrink (?) the prostate" is probably a beta blocker to soften the prostate resulting in freer urination.

Indicating that the prostate was infected. Quote: > What does it sound like I have and why would the WBC's increase > following an injection and a week on anti-microbials. The second prostatic massage may have open previously clogged ducts with pus cells that were concentrated, and the reason why prostatic massage done more as part of treatment is now accepted by many doctors.
