What is Prostatitis?
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) in the United States, Prostatitis is a frequently painful condition that involves inflammation of the prostate and sometimes the areas around it. Scientists have identified four types of prostatitis:
Various symptoms of Prostatitis are pain during urination, difficulty urinating, and pelvic pain. Men with asymptomatic inflammatory Prostatitis do not have symptoms. A healthcare provider may diagnose asymptomatic inflammatory Prostatitis when testing for other urinary tract or reproductive tract disorders. This type of Prostatitis does not cause complications and does not need treatment.
What is Prostate?
The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that is part of the male reproductive system. The main function of the prostate is to make a fluid that goes into semen. Prostate fluid is essential for a man’s fertility. The gland surrounds the urethra at the neck of the bladder. The bladder neck is the area where the urethra joins the bladder. The bladder and urethra are parts of the lower urinary tract. The prostate has two or more lobes, or sections, enclosed by an outer layer of tissue, and it is in front of the rectum, just below the bladder. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In men, the urethra also carries semen out through the penis.
How common is Prostatitis?
Prostatitis is the most common urinary tract problem for men younger than age 50 and the third most common urinary tract problem for men older than age 50. Chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which can occur in men of any age group, is the most common and least understood form of prostatitis.
What are the complications of Prostatitis?
Complications may include bacterial infection in the bloodstream, a prostatic abscess (a pus-filled cavity in the prostate), sexual dysfunction, and inflammation of reproductive organs near the prostate
How can Prostatitis be prevented?
Men cannot prevent prostatitis. Researchers are currently seeking to better understand its causes and develop prevention strategies.
Treatment for Prostatitis:
Treatment for prostatitis varies depending on the cause. Acute bacterial prostatitis is generally treated with antibiotics, while chronic prostatitis may require a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes. These treatments can effectively manage symptoms.
