Suggest Treatment For Prostatitis And Frequent Urination
Question: My 23-year-old son has had a few episodes of prostatitis over the last year. He was most recently treated on December 27th with Levaquin. The problem -frequent urination- is happening again. On top of that, he had a strange looking mole on his left testes that was biopsied today at a dermatologist's office and deemed suspicious. Am I wrong to think that the two problems could be connected? Our regular internist is on vacation, and I'd like to know how much sleep to lose over this ( sort of kidding). Thank you! Have made an appt. with a urologist for him, but he can't get in until March 7th. Thank you!
Brief Answer:
Needs further test to be carried out to arrive at diagnosis.
