Although chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is the most common type of prostatitis, it is not well defined, studied, or understood—making it difficult to treat.

Consider an “expressed prostatic secretions test” to formally test your prostatic fluid for bacteria that may not respond to Ciprofloxacin.

If no bacteria are present, consider proper testing for a fungal infection.

→ 2018 case study of a man who suffered from chronic prostatitis symptoms for 20 years being successfully treated with an anti-fungal regimen, you can share this with your physician: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
→ 2006 paper detailing how to diagnose & treat fungal infections in chronic prostatitis (your physician may be able to access the full paper if you cannot): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16930...

If you have truly ruled out bacterial or fungal infections, consider researching more about prostatic massage as well as saw palmetto and its partnered supplements.

→ Learn more about saw palmetto, stinging nettle root extract, quercetin, and curcumin here: https://prostate.net/saw-palmetto-pro...
→ Pygeum bark may also be worth researching

Remember that supplements, like all other drugs, have inherent risks and potential side-effects. Do your research, talk to your providers, and make safe, informed decisions about your health.

Finally, remember that a pelvic floor spasm and other forms of pelvic dysfunction can mimic the symptoms of prostatitis. However, it is important to rule out true bacterial or fungal infection first because, even though treating the spasm secondary to the infection may improve some symptoms, the spasm will NOT fully dissipate until the underlying infection is treated.
