Prostatitis Information

Prostatitis is any form of inflammation of the prostate gland. Inflammation of the prostate leads to pain, often during voiding but also in back and rectum. Frequent urination and increased urgency may suggest a cystitis (bladder inflammation). Ejaculation may be painful, as the prostate contracts during emission of semen.

Antibiotics are the first line of treatment in acute prostatitis, which is classified as a medical emergency. In chronic bacterial prostatitis, prolonged high-dose courses of antimicrobials, typically Ciprofloxacin, are often attempted to eradicate infection.
