Prostatitis develops mainly in men under 50 years of age and is an inflammation of the prostate gland, often associated with swelling and pain of the same. Sometimes it is also associated with urination difficulties. It should be noted that the symptoms caused by prostatitis can also be transmitted to the anus, perineal floor, penis, testicles, groin and inner thighs.
THE CLASSIFICATION OF PROSTATITIS IS AS FOLLOWS:
- Acute bacterial prostatitis
- Chronic bacterial prostatitis
- Chronic abacterial prostatitis/pelvic floor pain syndrome
- Asymptomatic prostatitis
ACUTE BACTERIAL PROSTATITIS
- Chills
- fever pain in the lower back and genital area
- frequency – urinary urgency (often at night)
- pain or burning when urinating
- muscle pain
- a demonstrable urinary tract infection, as evidenced by white blood cells and bacteria in the urine.
The treatment of this disease is always based on the administration of targeted antibiotics following the information obtained from urine and semen cultures and related antibiograms.
CHRONIC BACTERIAL PROSTATITIS
Chronic bacterial prostatitis occurs when bacteria create so–called “bacterial biofilms“ in the prostate into which systemically administered antibiotics cannot penetrate. In these cases, the patient typically presents with urinary tract infections, which initially seem to heal under antibiotic therapy and then return to discontinuation of the same. If in these cases the treatment of antibiotics for a prolonged period of time fails, then this is the time to perform intraprostatic infiltrations of antibiotics. Go to chronic prostatitis therapy
CHRONIC ABACTERIAL PROSTATITIS
Chronic abacterial prostatitis is the most common, but most difficult to treat, form of prostatitis. It can appear at any age, but usually after the age of 25. The appearance of symptoms does not appear to be linked to anything specifically detectable and these can attenuate over time until they disappear and then recur without warning. The specific characteristic is that pathogenic bacteria are not isolated in the urine, semen and urethral swab. Sometimes inflammatory cells are detected but sometimes not. The situation of chronic abacterial prostatitis is not distinguishable (or perhaps it is the same thing?) from the inflammation of the pudendal nerves.

ASYMPTOMATIC PROSTATITIS
Asymptomatic prostatitis is not diagnosed immediately because the patient does not complain of pain or discomfort, but has signs of inflammation or infection in the semen or prostate secretion. This form of prostatitis is usually diagnosed while researching the causes of infertility or following the presence of an elevated PSA
REMEMBER THAT…
Appearance of burning penis after sexual intercourse, may indicate an infection Appearance of spots on the glans penis or cuts on the skin of the foreskin may indicate an infection Presence of bad odor of the glans, despite thorough cleaning, can indicate an infection; The appearance of a drop on the tip of the penis, transparent or cloudy, may indicate an infection Sudden onset of premature ejaculation or erectile deficits may indicate an infection.
