Pain in penis

[LAworried]

Three to four weeks ago I tested positive for Chlamydia. I was treated with Doxycycline and 1 gram of Zithromax. I tested negative for Chlamydia, but still had burning upon urination, itching, pain in my testes, pain in the pelvic area, and some pain in the back and joints. I returned to my M.D. where he told me I had a prostate infection, gave me 7 days of bid Cipro and 14 days of bid Doxy. I am 6 days into this second round of treatment and I still have symptoms. They are not as pronounced, but they are still present along with a new found dull pain on the tip of my penis. I have a history of prostate problems and a family history. However, I am only in my 20s. I am worried about any other complications. Any advice you had would be appreciated.
Also, I have only had three partners and two were in the the past 7 months. I developed my symptoms within 14-21 days of sex with one of them who then tested negative for chlamydia. I had no sypmtoms prior to sex with her. What is the probability of a false negative? What could have happened? I thought she was lying, but she showed me the test.

Prostatitis can sometimes take 4-12 weeks of antibiotic therapy.  

Further evaluation can be done with a prostatic massage with subsequent analysis of the prostatic fluid.  A transrectal ultrasound can be considered to image the prostate to rule out any abscess.  

If infection has been ruled out, a cystoscopy can be considered to look for any anatomical abnormalities that may be causing your symptoms.  

These options can be discussed with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
