Prostatitis...: ...is a diagnosis which usually involves an examination, including an examination of the prostate through the rectum. True prostatitis is extremely difficult to treat because even the proper antibiotic (cipro) is difficult to penetrate prostate tissue. It takes at least 30 days of treatment, sometimes up to 90 days. Many sufferers are prone to recurrences.
