Should I Be Worried About The Watery Ejaculation While Suffering From Prostatitis?

I was recently diagnosed with prostatitis and UTI by an ER physician while on vacation. The ER prescribed lavofloxacin 500 mg for 30 days. I consulted with my urologist via phone three days later who advised me to take the lavolxacin for only 10 days. I took it for 12 days. The symptoms have gone away, except I have a low volume, clear watery consistency of fluid when I ejaculate. Is this normal, or is there another problem that needs to be addressed? I am still traveling and do not have direct contact with my urologist. Should I consult with an ER again?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Following treatment of infections like prostatitis and urinary tract infection with antibiotics, it will take certain amount of time for tissues of prostate gland to regain its functions normally.
It would take about a week to ten days for the gland to start functioning normally.
Until then, there could be certain amount of alterations in semen consistency and may appear more watery due to lack of enough mucous like material secretion.
Kindly consult Urologist for evaluation if the consistency of semen doesn't become thick and improve even after 2 to 3 weeks.
Kindly give some time for the gland to regain its functions by abstaining from sexual activities for a week to ten days.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
