Treatment for acute prostatitis typically involves a 6-week course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. A temporary catheter and bladder instillation of antibiotics may be necessary for severe cases, but this is not the standard treatment. Prostatectomy is a last resort for chronic prostatitis and is not typically done for acute cases. Sitz baths and scrotal support may provide symptomatic relief, but are not a cure for the infection.
