A member asked:
Been treated for prostatitis with ciprofloxacin for 2w, but my symptoms came back after 1 week after ending the treatment. how long should i take it?

Extended course : Sometimes an extended course of antibiotics may be necessary. At the same time, i usually recommend an anti inflammatory. Bladder irrirritants like caffeine and spicy foods should be avoided as well.
