i am diagnosed with heavy growth of MRSA in my prostate based on an prostatic secretion culture and sensitivity report. can this be cured? my dr has prescribed trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole for six weeks. i am really concerned as i hear that prostatic infections are difficult to cure so this is worse with MRSA. and do you know any cases which they the patient was cured fully. i am 31 years old.can this be transmitted to my wife throgh intercourse?
HelloThanks for query. You have been detected to have Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcal Aureus (MRSA) infection of prostate .MRSA infection of prostate is very rare but serious disease however since it is detected early take appropriate antibiotic as per culture report. It takes very long time for complete cure hence you may need to take medications for a long period say 6-8 weeks and till the time culture becomes sterile. It is curable disease provided one takes antibiotics religiously. Chat Doctor.
