See remark: prostatitis is hard to define,diagnose or treat.I have done work in this field for years.It is an enigma to urologists If antibiotics are not helping (since we can rarely find a + culture in the urine in this disease,we treat symptomatically.Sit in warm tub for 15 min..take Ibuprofen (600 mg twice a day) if you are not allergic to it. Avoid spicey food,pepper,if possible alcohol for about a week.
