Get Prostatitis Treatment Online

There are four recognized categories. Acute bacterial prostatitis is a sudden infection with fever and severe symptoms. Chronic bacterial prostatitis involves recurrent urinary tract infections from a persistent prostate focus. Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome is the most common type and may not involve detectable bacteria. Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis causes no symptoms and is usually found incidentally.

Bacterial prostatitis is treated with antibiotics that penetrate prostate tissue well. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin are generally preferred for four to six weeks in chronic cases and at least two weeks for acute cases. Doxycycline may be used when atypical bacteria are suspected. Your physician will select the antibiotic based on your history and any culture results.

Acute bacterial prostatitis usually resolves completely with a full course of antibiotics. Chronic bacterial prostatitis can be harder to eliminate because bacteria may persist in prostate tissue, sometimes requiring longer antibiotic courses. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is more complex; treatment focuses on reducing symptoms rather than eliminating an infection, and many men see substantial improvement with combined therapies.

Staying well hydrated, limiting caffeine and alcohol, taking warm sitz baths, and avoiding long periods of sitting on hard surfaces can all help reduce discomfort. Pelvic floor physical therapy benefits some men with chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Regular ejaculation has also been suggested to help relieve pressure in the prostate, though evidence varies.

Yes. Alpha-blockers such as tamsulosin relax the smooth muscle at the bladder neck and within the prostate, improving urine flow and reducing urinary pain and urgency. They are most commonly added to antibiotic therapy in men with significant urinary symptoms and are also used in chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

You should go to an emergency room or call emergency services if you develop a high fever with chills and shaking, are unable to urinate at all, have severe lower abdominal or pelvic pain, or feel very ill overall. These can be signs of acute bacterial prostatitis with sepsis or urinary retention, both of which require urgent in-person care.
