There is some good information in the posts above.

The current guidelines for treatment of acute prostatitis recommend a 28 day course of antibiotics for outpatient treatment. Medicines like Ciprofloxacin or Bactrim are usually the first meds used. If it is chronic, the treatment can be much longer - 6-12 weeks. There is some conflicting evidence that drugs in a class called alpha blockers may have some role in certain types of chronic prostatitis. As is stated above, you should see urologist for this.
