How are the treatments for prostatitis and ED different or similar?

Bacterial prostatitis is commonly treated with antibiotics, which target the infection. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often treated with a PDE5 inhibitor, such as sildenafil, which improves blood flow to help achieve an erection. Antibiotics do not generally treat ED, and PDE5 inhibitors do not treat prostatitis.
