What is Prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes inflamed or swollen. The prostate is a small gland found in men, located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It plays an important role in producing fluid that nourishes and protects sperm.

Prostatitis can affect men of all ages, especially those under 50. It may cause pain, urinary problems, and discomfort in daily life. At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we provide advanced and effective prostatitis treatment in Pune with expert urologists and modern medical care.

Types of Prostatitis

Prostatitis can be of different types:

1. Acute Bacterial Prostatitis
   A sudden and severe infection caused by bacteria. It requires immediate medical treatment.
2. Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
   A long-term bacterial infection that may come and go over time.
3. Chronic Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)
   The most common type. It causes long-term pelvic pain without a clear bacterial infection.
4. Asymptomatic Inflammatory Prostatitis
   This type has no noticeable symptoms and is often found during routine tests.

Causes of Prostatitis

Prostatitis may develop due to:

• Bacterial infection in the urinary tract
  
• Spread of infection from nearby organs
  
• Pelvic injury or trauma
  
• Stress and nerve-related issues
  
• Blockage in the prostate gland
  

Sometimes, the exact cause may not be clearly identified.

Symptoms of Prostatitis

Common symptoms include:

• Pain or burning sensation while passing urine
  
• Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
  
• Difficulty in starting or maintaining urine flow
  
• Pain in the lower abdomen, groin, or lower back
  
• Pain during ejaculation
  
• Fever and chills (in acute cases)
  
• Blood in urine (rare cases)
  

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a urologist for proper evaluation.
