yes taking prostate meds none of the other symptoms worried that I might have something that I read about that you could have without symptoms that can give std
The name of the medicine I'm on is finasteride and tamsulosin
The name of the medicine I'm on is finasteride and tamsulosin
Brief Answer:
not much evidence if std or uti
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for writing back i understand your concern about STD/UTI... IN your case STD doesn't seem to be the case as you have one comitted partner no multiple contacts. There is no rash no bruning micturation ir anything and obviously your doctor didn't find anything which could show any infection so there shouldn't be any problem.
Finesteride usually takes much longer than a month to work but tamuslosin usually works in few days if it doesn't then we alter the dose if you still have urinary frequency you might need to get doses altered by seeing your foctor again.
As far as your concern about UTI goes I believe there isn't much to worry about there is not much of evidence.
