1. Infection in the prostate are is called Prostatitis. The signs
of this illness could be reoccurring over years. Some of the
symptoms are urinating problems, ejaculation is painful,
groin pains and bladder cramps. Consulting a doctor is
important when any one of these symptoms is present. If
a fever accompanies the symptoms, a health care
professional should be visited immediately. Prostatitis
antibiotic treatment is the treatment most frequently
prescribed.

2. The prostate is mostly colonized by viruses and bacteria.
The pain associated with this illness may be caused by
bacteria. There is a possibility that the pain is not caused
by bacteria and thus antibiotics will not relieve the pain.
Testing of blood and urine samples will establish if the
infection is bacterial or not. As mentioned before it could
be very painful and uncomfortable. Having problems
urinating could lead to embarrassing situations. There are
other treatments than antibiotics and talking to your
doctor, urologist or oncologist might assist you in
establishing the best treatment for you.

3. Antibiotics, like all drugs have side effects. Allergies and
reaction to the drug is the most common. These reactions
could be fatal if you don't treat it immediately. The
antibiotics kill the flora that lives in your stomach. Using
pro biotic with the course can assist in keeping your
tummy happy. Pro biotic can be prescribed by your doctor
or can be bought over the counter at the pharmacy. There
are other side effects which include kidney failure and
tendonitis. Stomach upsets have also been noted. If any of
these are present whilst taking the drug, getting it checked
out is imperative.

4. The application of antibiotics falls into three types. Acute
bacterial Prostatitis is the treatable with antibiotics. It is
important to understand the type of bacteria causing the
infection. Blood test and urine tests will indicate the
bacteria levels and the white blood cells present in the
urine. Ciprofloxacin is a very effective antibiotic and other
types that might be helpful are aminoglycosides.

5. Chronic bacterial Prostatitis is more durable but the pain is
less intense. It is caused by bacteria. Reoccurrence is
prevalent with this type of infection. The pain will be
alleviated by antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin and
fluoroquinolones are some good ones to use

6. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is when infection is due to
non bacteria. The doctors generally prescribe antibiotics
for all Prostatitis, but this felling in general is that it is
excessive prescription. The truth is because it is non
bacterial; antibiotics will not help the patients at all.

7. In summary here are a few things to keep in mind. Only a
small percentage of patients infections are bacterially
caused. Antibiotics are only helpful in the treating
bacterial infections. They are not effective in non-bacterial
infections. In patients with chronic symptoms or
diagnosed Prostatitis antibiotics are prescribed in excess.
There are side effects to consider which includes toxic
necrolysis and allergic reactions. Treatment of chronic or
long term antibiotics could be very expensive.

8. If you or a loved one suffers from Prostatitis, you
understand that it is very painful and could lead to
embarrassment and is very uncomfortable. When taking
any medication it is important to understand all the risks
and benefits of the possible treatment. Using medical
journals and discussion with your doctor could assist you
in making the correct decision when choosing treatment.
Prostatitis antibiotic treatment could be effective when
bacterial infections are present.
