Five days after I had a TRUS and prostate biopsy were taken, I've got a slight temperature for 6 days now, which fluctuates anywhere from normal to up to 38C. It feels like someone has stuck a bowling ball up by back-side, extremely painful, and when I urinate the pain increases a fair bit. Sometimes I feel like as if something is leaking into my urethra and I get itching feeling in my penis. When I urinate, the itching goes away immediately. Could I possibly got an infection of the prostate from the biopsy 5 days later?
Went to the GP, 3 days ago, who sent a urine sample away for urinalysis which found no bacteria. He put me on Cephalhexin (ABX) but does not seem to be doing anything.
I know I've broken a couple of cardinal rules/laws, mentioning infection, bacteria and ABX but its starting to drag on and I am getting desperate. Any suggestion would be appreciated from anyone who has had the above-mentioned procedure done. I have never had this pain that I have now.

Slight Temperature after Prostate Biopsy
Age 43: Onset June 2005, Initially: perineal pain, discomfort in penis, very sensitive, sometimes burning. Red around the urethra on penis. Increased urination during night, problems with stream, sometimes constant urge to urinate. Exercise and moving around and laying down helps. Sitting down and squatting makes it worse. Improved to about 85-95%. Symptoms usually mild pain near belly button and slight urge to urinate.

Yes, you could have an infection from the biopsy. A urine test would not necessary catch it, and that may be the wrong antibiotic. OTOH, it may just be a reaction to the biopsy itself, or the sedation.
I'd certainly alert the urologist about it.

Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

The prostate and that area is crowded with nerves. A little scrape against one can really be felt. At this point we well undertand the concept of referred pain.

Thanks for your reply Robert and Webslave. Problem has been solved. It turned out to be an infection which has been quashed with abx. Its usually rare after such a procedure but it can happen and it had to happen to me!!
I think I should have realized that there was a problem when it was more than a golf ball feeling in the perineum, it was more like a bowling ball.
