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?

See a urologist: Prostatitis can be very difficult to manage and may require a different antibiotic in your case, along with sitz baths, frequent ejaculation and possibly ultrasound to determine if there is an abscess forming. See a good urologist and good luck.
