studies do not show that saw palmetto reduces prostatitis symptoms. saw palmetto has been shown in some small studies to help symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). these symptoms include weak urine stream and frequent urination. there are other studies that do not show that saw palmetto is an effective treatment for these symptoms. prostatitis is sometimes but not always caused by an infection. often treatment will consist of several weeks to months of antibiotic therapy if it thought to be a result of infection. it's good that you are seeing a urologist for evaluation and treatment. your doctor should also be able to recommend treatment for your pain if you are not already taking pain medication. <link>
