Prostatitis

Last Updated Dec 2007


Q: I've just found out I have prostatitis after for two years. I was misdiagnosed at first. Just finished four weeks of Cipro but symptoms came back two days after I stopped treatment. I don't want to go on tons of anti-biotics to see if they'll help. Levaquin might be next. Any other suggestions or resources?

Dear David,
 
A: Cipro and Levaquin are both floxacin-type of antibiotics. I would recommend increasing your intake of EPA and DHA to at least 7.5 grams per day to reduce the inflammation along with continuing enough of the antibiotics to reduce any bacterial infections.
