(1) Antibiotics: Currently, in the clinical practice of treating prostatitis, the most commonly used first-line drug is antibiotics, but only about 5% of patients with chronic prostatitis have clear bacterial infection.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis: antibiotics are selected based on bacterial culture results and the ability of the drug to penetrate the prostate. After prostatitis is confirmed, the course of antibiotic treatment is 4 to 6 weeks, during which the patient should undergo periodic efficacy evaluation. Intraprostatic injection of antibiotics is not recommended.

Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis: Antibiotic treatment is mostly empirical treatment, and the theoretical basis is to speculate that certain pathogens that are negative in routine cultures cause the occurrence of this type of inflammation.
