| Prostatitis |
| |
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate
gland. It is estimated that 50 % of men experience symptoms
of an inflamed prostate. Although the symptoms are often
the same, there can be different causes of prostatitis.
Based on the cause, prostatitis can be classified into
one of four categories.
|
 |
Acute bacterial
prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate
gland caused by bacteria such as E-Coli and
Klebsiella. It is most common in men aged
40-60. |
|
Chronic bacterial prostatitis
is when prostate infections keep coming back
despite appropriate treatment. This is found
most often in men aged 50-80. |
|
Nonbacterial prostatitis
is when the prostate gets inflamed without
an infection. This is most common in men aged
30-50. |
|
Prostatodynia, sometimes
called chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS),
is the occurrence of prostatitis symptoms,
without inflammation or bacterial infection. |
