I Have Been Diagnosed With Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis - Heavy

Question: I have been diagnosed with chronic bacterial prostatitis - heavy growth of enterococcus faecalis, said to be sensitive to amitriptyline. I was prescribed 500mg *3 of this drug for 6 weeks. But I gave up after 7 days.. It just made my symptoms even worse - burning inflammation of scrotum; hot fizzy unnatural urination, constipation,, very difficult bowel movements. Why should this have happened? What can I do? Are there some recommended creams for my scrotum? I have some tramadol - can I take that for the burning pain?
Brief Answer:
You can take Tramadol
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query
Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have been diagnosed to have Prostatitis
Bacterial prostatitis is a notorious disease which does not respond to antibiotics as antibiotics fail to reach deep in to tissue.
I would suggest you to Practice doing prostate massage which helps to eliminate all prostate secretions and infected material out .
You can take Tramadol twice daily.
Thanks and Regards

That's useful advice thanks - I don't know how I'd go about self treating exactly - you didn't say why the antibiotic would have had this effect

Would the massage risk spreading the bacterial infection further?
