I have prostatitis, so says my doc. I sent
in a semen sample and it came back with
the enterococcus faecalis infection so I
am on amoxycillin. Thing is i have had a
course of Ofloxacin, Amoxycillin (low
dose) and another antibiotic.
My current Amoxycillin is 3 tablets per
day, 500mg each tablet, so 1500 per day
for one month, 4 weeks. I am now onto week
two and still have the pain dispite the
medication. I have prostate pain in the
front, pain in groin and down my legs
although it isnt as bad as it was its
still there nagging away.
He physically checked my prostate and it
wasnt enlarged.
Is this normal for Prostatitis?
Thanks Simon

hello 2glio,
i know your post is quite few months old,
hopefully you are still hooked into this
site,
i hope the 1 month Amoxycillin course
worked well for you, as i have also been
diagnosed with the same infection,
unfortunatelly for me i got the
enterococcus in 2 places of my body, in
the prostate and the colon and it was
sexually transmitted to me by my ex g/f,
anyway, my doctor put me on a 2 weeks
course of Amo (3 a day) but it didn't work
and recently he repeated the same course,
another 2 weeks and with the same
antibiotic, but I'm not optimistic as i
lost hope for a cure due to the fact that
i have been carrying the infection for
almost 3 years,
is there any alternative medicine to fight
the Entero successfully?
after browsing in few medical websites
about that particular infection, most of
them says that the enterococcus in a hard
infection to get rid with conventional
medicine as it develop resistance to most
antibacterial
take care and i hope you are doing fine,
