Infection of E. coli bacteria can unfortunately cause a urinary tract infection, As the bacteria spreads to the prostate, this causes prostatitis. A partial blockage of the urinary tract also can lead to prostatitis. Acute prostatitis Prostatitis is usually associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhoea or chlamydia. Symptoms of acute prostatits include pain and burning felt during urination, and possible a penile discharge of an STD is also present, Other prostatitis symptoms include pain in the lower abdomen, testicles and penis; discomfort during ejaculation or urination; or a dribbling and/or weak stream of urine. What is the standard treatment? Prostatitis is typically treated by doctors with the application of an appropriate antibiotic. Antibiotics are even tried first as a treatment if no infection is found, as they are frequently effective. Antibiotics may also work as anti-inflammatory agents to treat prostatitis. Drugs that reach adequate levels in the prostate must be used and for sufficient periods, at least one month. Pau d'arco – a traditional remedy There is a range of treatments used for prostatitis, indicating perhaps that there is no one treatment effective and appropriate in every case. Such treatments include painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs; antidepressants; psychological support and counselling; and pollen extracts. Pau d'arco is a traditional method, one of the oldest and also one of the most effective. It has been used in the treatment of prostatitis for many years. Pau d'arco has demonstrated, in test tube studies, to have anti-bacterial activity against the E. coli bacteria, one of the main causes of prostatitis.
