Prostatitis (Prostate Infection) Treatment in Johor Bahru
Prostatitis (Jangkitan Prostat)
Prostatitis is inflammation or infection of the prostate gland and is the most common prostate problem in men under 50. Unlike benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which causes urinary obstruction in older men, and prostate cancer which is a serious malignancy, prostatitis is typically caused by bacterial infection and responds well to antibiotics. It causes painful urination, pelvic pain, and sometimes fever. Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a longer-lasting condition that may have no bacterial cause but causes significant discomfort and impact on quality of life.
Symptoms of Prostatitis (Prostate Infection)
⚠️ When to See a Doctor
See a doctor if you have any of the above symptoms — do not ignore pelvic pain or urinary symptoms. Seek urgent care if you have high fever, severe pelvic pain, or difficulty passing urine at all, as acute bacterial prostatitis can become serious. It is important to distinguish prostatitis from other conditions including STIs, kidney stones, and bladder problems.
Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah
Klinik Muhibbah assesses prostatitis with urinalysis, urine culture, STI screening if relevant, and digital rectal examination. Acute bacterial prostatitis is treated with a 4-6 week course of antibiotics that penetrate prostate tissue (fluoroquinolones or trimethoprim). Alpha-blockers may relieve urinary symptoms. Chronic prostatitis/CPPS is managed with longer antibiotic courses, anti-inflammatories, alpha-blockers, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and stress management. Complex cases are referred to urology.
