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

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!

Sitz baths and rest: Bacterial prostatitis requires antibiotics capable of penetrating prostate gland plus non-stroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics for pain. The home type remedies are warm sitz paths and rest. Subject may get additional symptomatic relief by an inflated ring to take pressure off prostate when sitting down. Prostatic massage by a urologist, and Alpha blockers like Flomax (tamsulosin) or Hytrin may help.
