Causes of prostatitis
The following is a list of causes or underlying conditions which can possibly cause prostatitis.
1. Bacterial infection unclean sexual life or unprotected intercourse could possibly cause urethritis. The pathogenic micro-organisms of urethritis are mainly bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and chlamydia etc... If urethritis is not timely cured, the prostate gland would be infected by the pathogen, which could possibly cause bacterial prostatitis.
2. Western medicine could control the inflammation in some cases. Although the tests show that the mycoplasma and chlamydia turn negtive, which suggests that the Western medicine has achieved the efficacy of sterilizing, the pathogenic microorganisms would stimulate the prostate gland, causing the gland become dropsical, obese and hyperplastic. This would cause nonbacterial prostatitis. And men with nonbacterial prostatitis have obvious symptoms and the symptoms would become more and more serious.

1) The symptoms of acute prostatitis
Acute prostatitis is a serious bacterial infection of the prostate gland. This infection is a medical emergency. It should be distinguished from other forms of prostatitis such as chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome Men with this disease often have chills, fever, fatigue, pain in the lower back and genital area, urinary frequency and urgency often at night, burning or painful urination, body aches, and a demonstrable infection of the urinary tract, as evidenced by white blood cells and bacteria in the urine. Acute prostatitis may be a complication of prostate biopsy.

2) The symptoms of chronic prostatitis
There are two main types of chronic prostatitis--chronic bacterial prostatitis (caused by chronic bacterial infection) and nonbacterial prostatitis. The symptoms of chronic prostatitis vary widely. Some have no symptoms, others have very serious typical symptoms. The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are similar to those of acute bacterial prostatitis. However, men with a flare-up of chronic bacterial prostatitis tend to be less ill than those with acute prostatitis. For example, a fever (high temperature) is less likely and you are less likely to have general aches and pains.
