  https://www.greaterbostonurology.com/blog/what-is-prostatitis

  Prostatitis is a painful condition that involves inflammation of the prostate and sometimes the areas around the prostate. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), prostatitis is the most common urinary tract problem for men younger than 50 and the third most common urinary tract problem for men older than 50. […] Treatment for prostatitis depends on the specific type of prostatitis. Acute bacterial prostatitis is usually treated with oral antibiotics for about two weeks. Severe cases of acute prostatitis may require a short hospital stay so that the patient can receive fluids and intravenous (IV) antibiotics. […] Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome treatment aims to decrease pain, discomfort, and inflammation. Oral antibiotics are also prescribed as an initial treatment until the provider can rule out a bacterial infection. Healthcare providers can prescribe other medications to help ease pain and urinary symptoms.
