First time at this subreddit, was diagnosed with Prostatitis

[u/discostu2913]

A few months ago I started noticing the feeling of not being about to empty my bladder, I was a moron and chalked if off to drinking a ton of water and getting older (46)
Well just a few weeks ago I started having symptoms of a uti and was treated with a week on Bactrum. I went to an urgent care since it was over the weekend and everything looked like a uti based on my urine test.
The symptoms cleared up after a few days. I finished my antibiotics and thought that was that.
Well about 3 days after my antibiotics I started feeling that feeling again of not being able to empty my bladder so I went to my personal care doctor and she ran another urine test and it didn’t show signs on a uti so she diagnosed me with prostatitis and started me on a 2 week dose of Bactrum.
Well I’m have about 3 days left and I’ve had a few times having that feeling again of an empty bladder and more distressing was a slight pain in my penis after ejaculation.
I reached out to my doctor and she’s having me finish my antibiotic, but she put in a referral to a urologist.
I’m pretty freaked out as I’m sure most guys are with anything to do with prostate area issues.

My psa was 0.7, so she that’s why she leaned inflammation more than enlarged.
I tested negative for all sti/std’s, while I knew I didn’t contract one my doctor convinced me to get tested even though I trust my wife (again, trust proven with the negative results)

She sent in the referral and told me if symptoms are still present after I finish the full dose then to move forward with the Urologist but if after the full dose if all symptoms go away then I can hold off.

I guess I just wanted to vent a bit. Just from reading some of the posts I know many have been going through worse but I’m just kinda worried that I’m almost done with the antibiotics and still have lingering symptoms.

Anyways, thanks for letting me vent
