Positive Progress Update on prostatitis

I know I’m new here and thank you to everyone who’s responded!
Well, I went to a Urologist and thankfully my urine and prostate looked good. They did an ultrasound of my bladder right after my urine sample and it showed empty.
The Urologist seemed to think that I did have a bacterial infection somewhere that the Bactrum cleared it up and any lingering symptoms that I’m having should hopefully clear up over the next week or so.

Right now really my only symptoms are a “pressure” in the shaft of the penis area. Doesn’t hurt or anything but the feeling is just there sometimes.
He said that it’s a normal feeling as that whole area is healing from both the infection and the antibiotics.
I am also having slight urgency to pee at moments, but it’s honestly only after I’ve been drinking a lot of water. It’s nothing like it was when this whole thing started.
I actually went to the bathroom last night and slept a full 7.5 hours before waking up to my alarm.

He has prescribed me FloMax (I think) to supposedly help strengthen and heal the areas around my bladder and also recommend a citrate zinc supplement gummy for overall prostate/urinary tract health.

Does anyone have any recommendations on supplements that will help me not only heal but hopefully help keep the whole area healthy.

I had one super helpful guy message me about some Bee Polin tea that looks promising, but yikes I’m not sure I can afford that.

Anyways, thanks for letting me vent and now for any advice you might have.

This whole situation is new to me and honestly it was quite frightening and disruptive.

Quercetin worked wonders for me! I was onit for one whole month and symptom free! Once i came off it i had a rebound effect instantly and prostatitis was back, im now taking cialis 5mg daily and remain 80% pain free and it works wonders for erections

Funny you ask, he put it in as a prescription but it’s an over the counter thing.
I stopped at CVS and showed them what he wanted me to have and they had nothing like that.
The prescription was for zinc citrate-quercetin.
I could find quercetin gummies and separate zinc ones but nothing together.
I found one online that has both but it’s something you have to order and besides you never know what you can trust
