What Medication Is Suggested For Chronic Prostatitis ?

I had prostate cancer radiation (44 direct beam treatments). My PSA is now only 0.5 but I now have pain that was associated with chronic prostatitis (28 years). I took one bactrim to see if that helped. No relief. Took 2 stiz baths. Only some relief. Have not called my urologist.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Chronic Prostatitis requires a longer-course of antibiotic. A 4 - 6 weeks' course of Doxycycline should help. However, symptoms suggestive of Prostatitis can also be due to radiotherapy.

So, consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me. He is the best judge to decide the cause of Prostatitis symptoms.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
