Hi all,
I had a prostate exam with the doctor after having pain in the prostate area for a few months and a full feeling in my anus. The doctor says my prostate is enlarged and thinks I have Prostatitis for which he has prescribed antibiotics. After not taking antibiotics for over 10 years, I'm reluctant to take them based on concerns it may negatively impact my digestion and other aspects of my health that are currently not good. Although I know Ray Peat does recommend antibiotics in certain situations.
The pain in my prostate is not a major concern although it is slightly bothersome and it would probably be a good idea to get rid of the infection. I'm wondering if you guys think it would be wise to take the antibiotic? Also is there a particular antibiotic you'd recommend as best/safest to use? I can't recall which antibiotic the doctor said he'd prescribe but I'll see when I get it from the pharmacy tomorrow. Would taking a short cause of antibiotics be ok? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
