Read More »What are the treatment options for a recurrent prostate infection? Answer From Patricio C. Gargollo, M.D. A recurring prostate infection is usually treated with antibiotics. Also known as chronic bacterial prostatitis, this infection is caused by bacteria in the prostate gland. A prostate infection may come back because antibiotics weren't able to get deep enough into the prostate tissue to destroy all of the bacteria. Or it's possible that the original antibiotic wasn't effective against the specific bacterium causing the infection. To treat a prostate infection that keeps coming back, you might need to: Try a different antibiotic. One type of antibiotic might work better than another for your infection. One type of antibiotic might work better than another for your infection. Take a longer course of an antibiotic. You might need a course of antibiotics that lasts six weeks or longer. You might need a course of antibiotics that lasts six weeks or longer. Use additional medications to help relieve bothersome symptoms. For example, drugs called alpha blockers can relieve urinary symptoms and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) can ease pain. If you're prescribed antibiotics, take them exactly as instructed, even if you begin to feel better. Missing doses or not taking the full course of antibiotics may interfere with the antibiotic's ability to completely kill the bacteria. If you have recurring prostate infections that don't improve with treatment, see a doctor who specializes in men's urinary and reproductive health (urologist). You might need to have fluid taken from your prostate to determine the bacterium causing the problem and the antibiotic that is likely to work best.

Male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss occurs when too much of the sex hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is produced. According to the Birmingham Dermatology Clinic, excessive levels of this hormone can cause hair loss. But there are ways to help manage this type of hair loss including medication, natural remedies, and light therapy. Male pattern baldness is a form of androgenetic alopecia and is identified by its distinct pattern leading to a receding hair-line. Androgenetic alopecia can also affect women but follows a different hair loss pattern, with uniform thinning all over the scalp or widening of the part. But why does this occur? The answer is hormones. DHT is a sex hormone that is a derivative of testosterone, but excess amounts of this hormone can affect the hair follicles. DHT interferes with the hair’s growth cycle, shrinking and shortening the hair making it easier for it to fall out and more difficult for it to grow back. Thankfully, there are a number of effective treatments that work to inhibit and block the production of DHT. These include:
