The first thing you need to do is to determine the type of prostatitis. Acute prostatitis is usually cured in one to two weeks after regular treatment, while chronic prostatitis is usually cured in four to eight weeks.
1. The main treatment for acute prostatitis includes medication and incision and drainage. The medication should be chosen according to the different causative organisms, for example, erythromycin for chlamydia, ceftriaxone for gonococcus, and usually a course of treatment of seven days, which can be prolonged up to fourteen days, and incision and drainage is needed if there are complications such as prostate abscess. 2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, in addition to medication (such as levofloxacin, etc.) can also be used in addition to hot water sitz baths, prostate massage and other measures. The treatment time is longer, usually between four and eight weeks. Prostatitis treatment modalities are proven, so if you have any related symptoms, seek medical attention and follow your doctor’s instructions for medication.
