What Is Prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a medical condition involving inflammation of the prostate gland. It can occur due to bacterial infection or other unknown causes. The condition may appear suddenly (acute prostatitis) or develop gradually and persist for a longer duration (chronic prostatitis). In both cases, it can cause a range of symptoms like painful urination, pelvic pain, fever, and sometimes sexual issues. While it’s not a form of cancer, it significantly affects quality of life if left untreated. Prostatitis requires prompt attention to relieve discomfort and prevent further complications.

Causes of Prostatitis

Prostatitis can develop for several reasons. Acute bacterial prostatitis is caused by bacteria entering the prostate from the urinary tract. Chronic bacterial prostatitis may occur due to a lingering infection. However, in many cases, especially chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), no clear bacterial cause is found. Risk factors include urinary tract infections, catheter use, pelvic injury, immune system issues, and stress. Even an inactive lifestyle may contribute. Understanding the root cause is vital for deciding on the appropriate treatment and achieving relief.

Diagnosis of Prostatitis

Diagnosis begins with a complete medical history and physical examination, including a digital rectal exam (DRE). Urine tests are commonly performed to check for infection. Sometimes, additional tests such as a prostate massage and post-massage urine analysis are done. Blood tests, imaging (like ultrasound), or cystoscopy may be recommended to rule out other conditions. Based on the findings, doctors classify prostatitis into acute, chronic bacterial, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, or asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to relieve symptoms and guide effective treatment.

What Are the Symptoms of Prostatitis?

Symptoms of prostatitis vary depending on the type but typically include pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, and lower abdominal or pelvic pain. Some men may experience pain during ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. Acute prostatitis may present with fever, chills, and muscle aches, while chronic forms show more persistent but milder symptoms. In many cases, symptoms can come and go, making the condition harder to detect without professional help. Early recognition of symptoms ensures better treatment outcomes and faster recovery.

Treatment of Prostatitis

Treatment varies depending on the type and cause of prostatitis. For bacterial infections, antibiotics are the primary treatment and may be prescribed for 2 to 6 weeks. Alpha-blockers may be used to relieve urinary symptoms, while anti-inflammatory medications can reduce pain. Chronic prostatitis or pelvic pain syndrome might also benefit from physical therapy, stress management, and lifestyle adjustments. In some cases, long-term treatment is needed. It’s important to follow up regularly and make recommended lifestyle changes for long-lasting relief and prostate health.
