The brief introduction of the three types of prostatitis

Prostatitis is one of the most common diseases for men, and most of its victims are old men, but because of the bad living habits, more and more young men begin to affect this disease. However, those young men are too shy to tell doctors that they have had this disease, so they also know a little about this disease. Therefore, I want to write an article and tell young men the three common types of this disease.

Acute bacterial prostatitis: this is the first type and always marked by inflammation of the prostate. This is the most common type but its symptoms are usually severer. As its victim, they always can experience those symptoms such as acute urinary track infection with increased urinary frequency and urgency, need to urinate a lot at night, and have pain in the pelvis and genital area. They also can experience chills and fever, nausea, vomiting and burning when urinating. If this type of prostatitis can be treated timely, the curative effect of antibiotic is excellent and always can be cured totally. If left untreated, the condition can cause confusion and low blood pressure, and may be fatal. This disease is usually treated in hospital with antibiotic, pain killer and fluid. Commonly, one to two weeks treatment with antibiotic is ok.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis: this is the second type. This type always is the result of recurrent urinary track infections that have entered the prostate gland. The bacteria or inflammation can exist for years in some men before producing symptoms. The symptoms of this type are similar with the first type, but its symptoms are milder and always last more than six months. It is hard for doctor to diagnose this disease, because it is hard to find bacteria in the urine. The treatments are antibiotic, pain killer and herbal medicine, but the curative effect is bad and the treating course is four to 12 weeks. If this type cannot be treated totally, men have to bear many complications such as orchitis, epididymitis and other diseases.

Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis: this is the last type and also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Almost 90% - 95% of patients belong to this type. This condition is marked by urinary and genital pain for at least three of the past six months. Although No bacteria can be found in their urine, they also can experience some signs of inflammation. This type of prostatitis always cannot be cured in western medicine; so many people tend to seek for solutions from old east – china. The Traditional Chinese Medicine - Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill also becomes one of its treating methods.
