Sounds like it: One of the problems with prostatitis is that it can recur so easily. It is important that an episode of prostatitis be treated for a full month with antibiotics. If it keeps recurring, it's time to see a urologist.

Chronic Prostatitis: About 75 %l cases of chronic bacterial prostatitis clear up with treatment. Sometimes the symptoms come back recur and antibiotic therapy needed again. For cases not responding to treatment, long-term, low dose antibiotic therapy is recommended to relieve the symptoms. Other medications (as those used for nonbacterial prostatitis ) or treatments ( prostate massage therapy or surgery) may be needed
