Antibiotics in the prostate

To treat Chlamydia and Enterococcus my doctor is treating me with antibiotic infusions (as this is not the first treatment, the first time treatment was peroral).
After 10 days of infusions, he is making 3 injections with antibiotics directly in the prostate. It's one injection per week.
Could you please give me any opinion on such injections ? Is this a normal/good treatment ?

Hello,
What you are getting is intraprostate infilteration of antibiotics/ antibiotics and steroids in combination. This practice was earlier followed and still followed in Europe but it has many side effects as well and should be used with caution in patients.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Sincerely thank you for you reply. I'm indeed in Europe, Bulgaria.
I was reading that this technique was somewhat abandoned.
I'm feeling better at the moment, but I have one more injection left and than some 2,3 months before I make new lab tests.

Never, ever heard of that. What country are you in. Not a US practice for sure.
