What antibiotics are used for prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I am 29 years old and have recently been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, with only a slight pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as prostatitis. The doctor recommended taking antibiotics to treat it. I would like to ask, what are the most effective antibiotics for prostatitis, and how long should I take them?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis should be confirmed. The symptoms during urination are also quite typical. Based on the latest trials and a large number of relevant literature reports from domestic and international sources, the treatment for this disease can be determined to involve anti-inflammatory drugs, which are antibiotics. Antibiotics are generally recommended to be quinolone-class antibiotics or macrolide-class antibiotics. According to China's screening guidelines, the treatment course should last 4 to 6 weeks.
