Feedback:
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland that is most often caused by microorganisms. Treatment consists of up to 30 days of antibiotic therapy. Mild analgesics and warm sitz baths may be ordered for discomfort but not a primary action. Regular drainage of the prostate gland through masturbation or intercourse can be helpful in decreasing the inflammation and discomfort.
