What is the prognosis for prostatitis?
- Acute bacterial prostatitis is curable with a short course of antibiotics.
- Chronic bacterial prostatitis is often recurrent even with appropriate
therapy. Fortunately, the disease tends to be asymptomatic.
- Chronic pelvic pain syndrome will be challenging for the patient and the
health care practitioner. Symptoms tend to linger and be difficult to control.
- Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis is not clinically significant and does not require treatment.
