How to deal with Prostatitis after chlamydia?
Six months ago I tested positive for Chlamydia, which I estimate was 1-2 months after infection. I was prescribed Zithromax and the symptoms went away, except for discomfort in my lower pelvic area. I went back to see the doc for that, and he suggested the Chlamydia likely entered the prostate, diagnosed me with prostatitis and put me on two weeks of Doxycycline.
Since then the symptoms have remained, i.e. discomfort in the lower pelvic area, waking up about an hour earlier than normal to pee, and less robust sexual performance. It’s painful to sit for too long, and the thought that this problem will persist long term is seriously depressing.
I’m a 30 year old expat living in Taiwan and my doctor here is not being super helpful. Can anyone suggest specific tests or treatment options I can request?

CE2007 is right on. Get an accurate test for MG, and if all you’ve taken for antibiotics is doxy, you have a chance at curing it if it’s MG. Go right to long course Moxifloxacin if you have MG.
