Chronic: prostatitis can be a difficult problem. Get to a urologist for specialist opinion. Sometimes antibiotics alone cannot control the problem.

Prostatitis symptoms gone with 2w cipro (ciprofloxacin) 500mg, but back right away. 2w cipro (ciprofloxacin) again has much less effect, 4w 250mg remaining. Stop now or keep at it?
