Why antibiotics can't cure chronic prostatitis?

I have chronic prostatitis for 2 years and I have to take antibiotics to manage the symptoms since I was diagnosed with this painful condition. I know a long-term treatment is needed to treat this chronic inflammation, but is it normal to take antibiotics for the last 2 years? Why it is so difficult to cure with this medicine? Can I take other medication as an replacement? I don't want any further damage to my body. I want my normal life back. Please help me.

My husband had prostatitis for over three months and the inflammation was cured by a herbal medicine called diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill. Antibiotics are effective in killing the bacteria but the infection or inflammation in prostate gland is hard to be removed completely. It's normal for prostatitis lasts for such a long time since it develops chronic. If you have no ways to cope with this condition you can try this herbal pill. Hope it helps.

Hi, I think it is abnormal to take antibiotics for 2 years, because antibiotics is usually used to treat acute prostatitis, and you should be cured in about few weeks, I'm afraid that you may have drug resistence to it, I think you might have the chronic prostatitits, so the effect wasn't obvious now.but it is advised to go to the hospital for diagnosis first.

If the routine treatment is still ineffective, I think you can take the natural medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills which consists of a lot natural herbs which have great effect in trating the male urinary system infection especially the chonic prostatitis and it won't produce any drug resistance and side effcts, I wish you recover soon.
