Been diagnosed for prostatis for 1-2 years ago.havent been suffering since then.now last days,the symptoms came back? what can i do?antibiotics again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be antibiotics: Yes you may need another course of antibiotics . I suggest you get it checked by your doctor or urologist to confirm the diagnosis and get a culture of prostatic fluid and ironed test. And if indicated you may need appropriate antibiotics for 30days
