Hello
Thanks for query .You have been taking Doxicycline for presumed Prostate Infection .

It is advisable not to take any antibiotics unless you have established positive evidence of infection .
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment and get following basic test done to confirm Diagnosis of Prostatitis
1) Semen Examination and Semen Culture .

Since prostatitis takes long time to get cured one has to take antibiotics for 6-8 weeks .

Hence I suggest you to continue taking it only after doing Semen culture and confirmed diagnosis..
