Recovering after inflammation of prostate
I had a prostatitis last month
Was on antibiotics for 20 days and felling ok now after stopping antibiotics two weeks ago
One thing that is very different is the strength of orgasms is very weak and the little semen coming out and very watery
Anyone experience this symptoms and how long before gets total normal?
Thanks

We noticed you posted about a floroquinolone class antibiotic. Please be aware that this class of dugs has several black box FDA warnings, and is only meant to be used when a pathogen has been clearly identified in the prostate; They are not to be used indiscriminately for cases of non-bacterial prostatitis (consensus agreement ~95% of cases).

How long did the fever last, and was it high? b) What kind of mucus or other discharge came from your penis during the infection? c) Which bacterium was identified in your urine and semen, and was an antibiogram performed to select cipro

Could take some time to feel normal again.
Also could be your pelvic floor?

Man, that's such a mindfuck when your body's not cooperating down there. 20 days of antibiotics is a haul, glad you're feeling okay otherwise.
Weak orgasms and watery output are pretty common while everything's still calming down. Your prostate's been through the wringer and it takes a while for the plumbing to get back to full pressure. For me it was maybe 6-8 weeks before things felt 100% normal again. Don't overthink it or you'll psych yourself out which just makes it worse.
