Prostatitis is a common male disease that can be asymptomatic at all, or can be symptomatic and persistent. Generally speaking, prostatitis can be divided into the following categories:
1. Non specific bacterial prostatitis: It can also be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis refers to acute inflammation caused by nonspecific bacterial infection of the prostate, mainly manifested as urgency, frequency, pain, rectal and perineal pain. Chronic prostatitis is mainly manifested as a lack of abdomen, discomfort in the perineum, and testicles, and white dripping at the urethral orifice. It is common in young and middle-aged men.
2. Idiopathic non bacterial prostatitis: Clinically, there are symptoms such as prostate pain, abnormal urination, and overflow of prostate fluid from the urethral orifice. White blood cells in prostate fluid can increase, but bacterial culture does not show bacterial growth.
3. Nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis: clinically, it mainly presents symptoms such as frequent urination, pain in urination, burning of the urethra, pain in the lower back or perineum, but the disease develops rapidly, accompanied by increased prostatic effusion, acute urinary retention and other symptoms.
4. Prostatic pain and prostate congestion: Clinically, there are symptoms such as persistent frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, and discomfort in the prostate, or true prostate pain. There are no pus cells in the prostate fluid, and there are no significant infectious pathological changes.
5. Specific prostatitis: Specific prostatitis includes prostatitis caused by gonorrhea, fungi, and parasites such as trichomonas.
In addition, viral infections, mycobacterial infections, and chlamydial infections may also cause prostatitis.
