I have prostatitis and take antibiotics for weeks. Pain get relief. So I stop taking antibiotics, but now the symptoms come back. Should i take the same medicine I took before?

It is common for the infection to return (prostatitis caused by E.coli usually follows an urinary tract infection with E.coli, and patients with recurrent UTI's, have greater chances for recurrent cases of prostatitis), some health care providers recommend even longer courses of medications, 6 to 8 weeks, to get rid of the infection.
