Treatment is based on the type of infection and the susceptibility of the infecting organism to antimicrobial therapy as follows:

Acute bacterial prostatitis medical treatment

Antibiotics: Patients likely will be given trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) or fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin [Cipro, Cipro XR, Proquin XR], norfloxacin [Noroxin], ofloxacin [Floxin]) for at least a week, and frequently longer time periods for the common infectious agents (Gram-negative bacteria). Infrequent infectious agents (listed above) may require other antimicrobials; the best treatment is to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of the infecting agent and use the most effective antimicrobial. This information may be supplied to the treating doctor by the laboratory personnel.

If high fever or symptoms of a severe bacterial infection are present, the patient may be hospitalized.
At the hospital, patients may be given antibiotics such as cephalosporins or ampicillin (Principen) plus an aminoglycoside (gentamicin, amikacin [Amikin]) intravenously.
Sometimes the patient may need a catheter (a small tube inserted through the urethra) for relief from severe obstructions that stop urine flow.
