However, patients with nonbacterial prostatitis rarely have a history of urinary tract infections. Fluids from the prostate contain white blood cells that your body usually produces to fight an infection. These white blood cells are present even though you have a negative bacteria culture. Although though no known bacterial organism is found, doctors often treat with antibiotics. Muscle relaxants, and prostate massage therapy are also sometimes used.
Most treatments often aren t proven to work, and often fail.
Prostatodynia is also fairly common and is the most painful prostatitis disorder. With prostatodynia there is no history of urinary tract infection, and cultures are negative. Sitz baths and alpha blocking drugs such as Cardura are often prescribed. Like nonbacterial prostatitis, treatment methods often fail. Treatment depends on the type of prostatitis you have.
