What is Prostatitis?

Prostatitis is another prostate problem that commonly afflicts adult men of all ages. Prostatitis refers to the inflammation of the prostate. It may present with urination problems or LUTS with varying severity. Severe chronic prostatitis may be debilitating.

Prostatitis has been classified by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) into four categories.

  • Category 1 is acute bacterial prostatitis.
  • Category 2 is chronic bacterial prostatitis.
  • Category 3 includes the conditions previously known as nonbacterial prostatitis, prostatodynia and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. 
  • Category 4 is asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis.

Pain relief and several weeks of treatment with antibiotic are typically needed for category 1 and 2 prostatitis. Treatment for category 3 prostatitis (nonbacterial) is less clear and mainly involves relieving symptoms. Category 4 prostatitis is usually found during examination for another reason and often doesn't require treatment.
