Prostatitis is often described as an infection of the Prostate. It can also be an inflammation with no sign of infection. Just 5% to 10 % of cases are caused by bacterial infection. Now a days its very common.

Patients with this condition have an acute urinary tract infection with increased urinary frequency and urgency, a need to urinate a lot at night, and pain in the pelvis and genital area. They often have fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and burning when urinating.

•Chronic bacterial Prostatitis: 

This condition is the result of recurrent urinary tract infections that have entered the prostate  gland. It is thought to exist for several years. In some cases before producing symptoms. 

•The symptoms are similar to acute bacterial Prostatitis, but less sever and can fluctuate in intensity.
