What are some alternative therapies for bacterial prostatitis?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Symptom relief: True bacterial prostatitis should be treated with an extended course of appropriate antibiotics. At times, your physician may prescribe other medications including non-steriodal anti-inflammatory, anticholinergics, alpha-blockers to help treat the symptoms. However, bacterial prostatitis should improve with antibiotic therapy.

Antibiotics best: probably antibiotics that are appropriate for the particular bacteria is best, along with safe sex practices and even prostatic massage
