Nitrofurantoin per say is not a preferred drug for prostate infection and we would rather prefer floroquinolone group of antibiotics like levofloxacin or cotrimoxazole group which has better penetration in the prostate. Long term antibiotics are definitely needed in prostate infection. Using niftas ( nitrofurantoin) for long time does not have serious side effects.
Next Steps
consult a trained urologist to ensure your diagnosis and treatment is on the right track and you get well soon.
