Hi
My oh is suffering from chronic prostatitis and is very down.
He has visited GP and has had antibiotics which help for a few days then back to misery. He s only comfortable standing up which means he gets little sleep.
We have consulted Dr Google and read all we can but I just wondered if any one could offer any advice or news of other treatments not yet offered.
Thanks

My husband had this back in March. He isn’t one to complain but afterwards said it was the second most painful thing he has ever experienced (most painful was kidney stones). The examination wasn’t very pleasant either! I don’t have any advice other than to persevere with the antibiotics and drink plenty of water. My DH had to take them for four weeks and the doctor said he must take them all or it would probably return. Touch wood he hasn’t had a recurrence. Sitting down was very painful for him so he used to have a long walk followed by a rest in bed every day after lunch. It did get easier as time passed by so hope he is feeling a bit better now.
