Testing Question

Hi

I was recently diagnosed with prostatitis and put on 6 weeks of doxycycline which has done nothing to relieve symtoms ( penis pain, clear discharge). I have tested negative for all std's on numerous occasions. I am going next week to have my prostate fluid cultured but was just wondering if I'm taking a probiotic would that affect test results??

It's just after being on antibiotics for so long and the fact that I will more than likely be prescribed more in a few weeks I would like to take a probiotic in between. Would taking this affect the tests next week. The urologist won't call me back to answer!

Thanks,
KT.
