Hi Carl,

"UTI" is a broad and generic term. You may well have epididymitis, which may be associated with prostatitis. (The joys of being male....)

Neither of these would be likely to be found with a urinalysis or urine culture. Physical exam (Does it hurt more here.....) usually makes the diagnosis.

Cipro is quite an appropriate choice, sometimes a longer course, 14 days or more, is necessary.

Keep on posting!
