Are these drugs necessary for prostatitis?

[caribbean_man]

I am a 52 year old man, 6'2" tall, 215 lbs. who works out about 3 times a week. I'm typically healthy, although under a lot of stress in general. I live on a small tropical island in the Caribbean. I drink more alcohol than I should, approximately 3 glasses of wine each night. I stay away from food and drinks with sugar other than wine typically.

Six months ago, I noticed that I was urinating more often and when I had to go, I felt an urgency to go. Previously I was told that I had a somewhat enlarged prostate at about 4 centimeters and figured that may have been it or an infection and thought that would pass. I recently went to my family doctor and he recommended that I get an ultrasound for the prostate. The radiology tech stated the below.

"Prostate was well visualized and is enlarged measuring 3.7 x 3.7 X 5.4 centimeters. There is a nodule that is pressing into the bladder that measures 1.9 x 2.1 x 2.4 centimeters. This nodule does not have blood flow within as visualized by ultrasound."

My family doctor then sent me to a urologist. I showed him my lab results and he pointed out my PSA level of 1.54. He also pointed out my urine test which said: Specific Gravity: 1.015, Hidden blood: Traces, Leukocyte esterase: +, PH: 7.0.

He also did a rectal exam with his finger.

He told me that he thinks that I almost definitely do not have cancer and I have prostatitis. He prescribed the following medicine:

Levofloxacin 500 mg, taken 1 times daily for one month.

Meloxicam 15 mg, taken 1 time daily for 14 days

Doxazosin 4 mg, taken every night once daily for I think 2 weeks.

I'm basically healthy, other than having some short term memory problems and stress. That may be from having a B12 level of 185, which I discovered two weeks ago and have taken two B complex shots for that so far.

After reading the side effects of these drugs he prescribed, that scared the crap out of me! I don't want to have some reaction and lose my good health. Are these the drugs you would subscribe? What are your thoughts? He told me no alcohol, coffee or carbonated drinks while taking the meds. That I can do.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
