From what I understand that really is no cure; it's just treated. He should, however, seek medical attention if he experiences even more significant if accompanied with high fever and chills:

* urinary burning or pain

* difficulty passing urine

* difficulty or pain when starting urination

* pain in your genital area

* pain with ejaculation

doctors usually diagnose and treat prostate infections on an outpatient basis. If you develop high fever with chills or a new onset of difficulty in urinating, go to a hospital’s emergency department.
