A member asked:

Random prostate pain for 2 months/prostate hurts while peeing/naproxen helps short term (doc diagnosed). what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ronald Krauser answered

See details: Naproxen is a waste of time. See a urologist. Prostatitis requires antibiotics, not naproxen.
