Prostatitis (cont.)

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.
