The standard practice is to repeat the culture at least a few weeks after completing the medication unless substantial deterioration of symptoms is noted during treatment.
Besides chronic prostatitis, there are other causes of persistent lower urinary tract symptoms. It is wise to consult the relevant specialist should symptoms persist after bacterial infection has been excluded.

已治療前列腺炎第四個月，無進展
病患者男 - 24歲
第1，2個月使用Levofloxacin, 早晚各一，服完後症狀反覆但減輕，不過十日後再復發 第3個月使用Amoxicillin and Clavulanate 早晚各一，起初症狀大幅減輕但療程將結束時復發 第4個月使用Levofloxacin, 早上兩次，服藥中，病症反覆。
服藥途中反覆停藥後痛楚會否消失？ 如果療程結束仍有痛楚應繼續覆診？

The hallmark of chronic prostatitis is nagging persistent and / or recurrent symptoms despite treatment. Evidence of effective treatment is decreasing intensity and frequency of discomfort together with negative bacterial growth and normal semen analysis. Should any of the above remain dubious, full re-evaluation is indicated.
The presenting symptoms, though not typical of an overt urinary tract infection, certainly warrant the attention of a relevant specialist.

History, physical examination and hormonal analysis (FSH, testosterone) provide a >90% prediction of the type of azoospermia (obstructive v. non-obstructive). Full definition of the type of azoospermia is provided based on diagnostic testicular biopsy.
