Brief Answer:
kindly send all your reports.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.

You should complete the course of antibiotics.
Send the reports on basis of which lyme's disease was diagnosed.
If you're worried about prostsate gland,get the following tests done,after an examination by an Urologist.
1. urine routine and culture.
2. blood routine,RBS,creatinine,LFT,PSA,uric acid and platelets.
Lipid profile,if not done in over 3 months.
3. ultrasound -KUB,with residual urine and a TRUS(trans rectal scan).
4. Flow rate test.

After seeing the reports,i can give you an expert opinion.
Wish you well.
