Preparations of the tetracycline group can also be used. Usually these funds are prescribed for chronic and infectious prostatitis.
Antibacterial drugs are prescribed only after the infection test. Until results are obtained, symptomatic therapy aimed at relieving pain and inflammation is carried out.

Good results are obtained by complex therapies aimed at increasing the body's general and local resistance to disease-causing factors. Only in this case can there be a full recovery or a long-term remission.
