Cause and diagnosis: Why do you get inflammation of the prostate and prostate?

Inflammation of the prostate can be caused by bacteria that "leak" into the prostate gland from the urinary tract - or from rectal lymph infections. Prostate inflammation can also be caused by sexually transmitted sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea or HIV (AIDS). Other bacteria that are often behind such inflammation are the e-coli bacterium (Escherichia coli).

Different forms of prostate inflammation

The prostate inflammation is often divided into three different categories.

Acute bacterial prostate inflammation: This is a diagnosis caused by a bacterial infection that has a sudden onset and typically causes flu-like symptoms.

Chronic bacterial inflammation of the prostate: Chronic inflammation of the prostate is often caused by persistent or recurrent bacterial infections within the prostate gland. Between the seizures, the patient may occasionally be symptom free.

Asymptomatic inflammatory prostate inflammation: In this category, it is the case that those who are affected do not have a single symptom or discomfort - but that clinical tests detect infection-fighting cells in their sperm samples.

Risk factors for inflammation of the prostate

There are a number of risk factors for being affected by inflammation of the prostate. Prostate inflammation affects especially younger and middle-aged men.

• Anatomical anomaly in the urethra
• dehydration
• Prehistory with urinary tract infections
• Enlarged prostate
• Local trauma or falls to the pelvis or tailbone (for example, by cycling or horse riding)
• Sexual history with anal sex
• Previous history of prostate inflammation

Symptoms of inflammation of the prostate

The symptoms you experience with prostate inflammation may vary based on what is the underlying cause of the inflammation itself. The clinical signs and symptoms may in some cases build up gradually or they may occur acutely and suddenly. One can also experience clear improvement in a short time or it can persist for months. In bacterial inflammation of the prostate, it is common for the occurrence to be sudden and for the symptoms to be stronger than for viral inflammation. Here are some of the symptoms you may experience with prostatitis:

• Blood in the urine
• Fever
• Chills
• Painful ejaculation and sexual dysfunction
• Pain in the groin, rectum, abdomen and lower back
• Pain during urination

Diagnosis of prostate inflammation

The diagnosis of inflammation in the prostate is often analyzed by analyzing a urine sample and examining the prostate gland. This examination involves the doctor inserting a finger up through the rectum to examine the prostate - where it is felt if the gland is enlarged or altered in other ways.

Other studies may include:

• Imaging Diagnostic Assessment: Diagnostic ultrasound, CT or MRI examinations can be used to provide more information on what may be causing the inflammation.
• Blood tests: An extended blood test can measure if you have higher white blood cell counts - which may indicate that you have an infection or inflammation.
• Urodynamic testing: This is a study of how the urinary tract works.
• Tissue test: In some cases, it may be appropriate to take a tissue sample of the prostate to examine cancer cells and the like.

If you have persistent or recurrent symptoms that may indicate prostate problems, we strongly encourage you to contact your doctor for further examination.
