Prostatitis may include infection of the prostate, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, or asymptomatic prostate inflammation. It may be acute or chronic, and bacterial or nonbacterial. Chronic pelvic pain may be inflammatory or noninflammatory
May present with urinary symptoms and/or urogenital pain
Acute prostatitis is diagnosed by urine culture; chronic prostatitis is diagnosed by urine analysis of pre- and post-prostatic massage samples
Generally treated with antibiotics and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, with excellent response. Chronic forms of prostatitis may be more difficult to treat
Infectious prostatitis can usually be cured, or treated with antibiotics prophylactically if infection is recurrent. Unfortunately, the prognosis is far worse for those with chronic pelvic pain syndrome
