If i have prostatitis, what can i do before seeing a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-inflammatories.: Acute prostatitis is usually a bacterial infection of the prostate that should get prompt evaluation and treatment. Before you see your physician, you can start some anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen to relieve pain, speed the clearing of inflammation, and liquefy prostatic secretions. Note your symptoms such as fever, and difficult with urination. Don't delay your evaluation!

Seeing a urologist soon for what my doctor thinks is non bacterial prostatitis. never been sexually active and my urine came back clean no infection. I dont feel pain however when I urinate I feel like I dont finish. What is a rough recovery time?
I went to go see a urologist and the doctor at first thought I had kidney stones but only to later diagnose me with prostatitis. I underwent treatment of antibiotics doxycycl and amoxicillin to be precise. I was later given tamsulosin hydrochloride.
