Semen as a dignostic tool is quite suffifient if clear, though some urologist say you should do the Stanley Mayers test too as essential diagnosis. So did your cultures corresponded with each other or there were differences ??
I remember you were also on a long atb course..I myself was on 5 weeks of trimethoprim and taking atbs if semen is clear seems not very logical (though i have abdominal tension, light pain when sitting unpleasant tension periodically. So I wonder what should i do next.
Thank you.

Johnny I never did post massage urine as I never thought I had any problem in my bladder. Post massage urine will show usually pathogens in the bladder only. You should have your prostatic excretions after prostate massage checked but there is no guarantee that any fluid will come out and I think most uros are just not good enough in getting the fluids out. So semen seems to be the easy solution. Also I said this before and will say it again. Cultures are not gospel and if you get uros at moments of sincerity will tell you the same thing. At least two uros told me that uros do not take cultures very seriously. Cultures can show the wrong bacteria or bacteria that may not be the main culprits.
Yes I did a long abx course nearly a year ago and I still consider that necessary as my problems started from bacteria. However I will never know how much damage I caused because of that course...and I mean damage to the muscles, nerves etc. No matter what uros say, quinolones were not designed to be taken for weeks.
I know you are from Europe...you may want to look into a clinic that follows the Wise-Anderson protocol in Europe as a trip to the USA might be prohibitively expensive. This clinic below has been endorsed and trained by Wise's team. I was considering a trip there a while ago but I now think that it will probably not be necessary.

Try to establish a relaxation protocol, I cannot stress how important this is. Pelvic tension is a huge problem even if this starts from bacteria. Did you go through long periods of intense stress and tension before your prostatitis started? if you have been through tension in your life, all it takes is a small infection or some other trauma to spill the cup and release Pandora's box. This is a really crappy experience I know this first hand but in the end you will get out of this stronger and even better than before as hopefully you will have corrected all the wrongs things that caused this in the first place.
