Question 7

what kind of pills or treatment can somebody get for prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

Prostatitis Rx: There are two kinds of prostatitis: acute (usually more severe) and chronic (most common).  Chronic prostatitis is generally treated with several weeks (2-6) of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin or trimethorprim-suflamethoxazole. Acute prostatitis is usually treated in the hospital with intravenous antibiotics because this condition can be associated with bacteria in the blood stream and shock.

Question 8

what is the best home treatment, if there is one, for prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

None available: If you really have acute bacterial prostatitis or a urinary tract infection, eg bladder or kidney, or an std (sexually transmitted disease), there's really no home remedy or treatment to cure you. Sorry. Only prescription antibiotics will do the trick. These infections can go bad quickly, so if you're suspicious, go see your family doc immediately for appropriate evaluation & treatment. Good luck!

Question 9

what's the best treatment for chronic prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

Physical therapy: Depends on the cause. If you are having classic non-infected chronic prostatitis, believe it or not, pelvic floor physical therapy works wonders. I have had excellent results with my patients and almost all have an improvement in pain and symptoms.

Question 10

my prostatitis has gone following treatment. is it likely to come back?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: But don't borrow trouble worrying about it.  An issue with prostatitis are the annoying urinary symptoms, but also the psa issues.  This is more an issue after seed implans than external beam in my experience. Usually when these flare up, and then subside they do not come back, but medicine is not that predictable!
