How Effective Is Cipro In Treating Prostatitis?

I am currently on Cipro for a assumed Prostatitis. I am a few says away from completing my 30 days of taking them. I still have a a slight burning sensation especially after sitting and driving for long periods of time (truck driver). When not sitting my urine flow is great and the burning subsides. Should I assume the Cipro is nit working?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Who assumed, you/doctor?

Explanation: Self medication is dangerous. If your doctor has advised you ciprofloxacin for prostatitis then you can continue it as per his advise. Prostatitis usually takes long time to heal.
YOu can go for culture sensitivity of semen/prostate secretion to test whether cipro is working or not.
