During prostatitis flare-ups, prostate massage may be used to alleviate symptoms. This technique helps improve blood circulation in the prostate tissue and reduce edema caused by prostatitis. Additionally, under a physician’s guidance, antibiotic therapy—such as levofloxacin capsules—may be prescribed. In certain cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.
