Prostatitis bacterial culture need to stop it

Prostatitis bacterial cultures generally require discontinuation.

Drugs such as antibiotics can inhibit or kill bacteria, and if antibiotics are used shortly before culture, the accuracy of culture results may be affected. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of culture results, it is recommended to discontinue the drug for a period of time before receiving prostatitis bacterial cultures. The specific length of withdrawal depends on the drug used and its metabolism and excretion rate in the body. In general, most antibiotics stay in the body for about 24-72 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to stop the drug for at least 72 hours before receiving the prostatitis bacteria culture to ensure that the drug is completely excreted.
