Hello everybody. Is there anybody among you who could explain to me what prostatis is. I am interested in what causes it and what the treatments are. My grandfather was diagnosed with prostatis but I heard that all men can get it, that is why I would like to know more about it. Thank you in advance!

Prostate gland is an organ about the size and shape of a walnut, located just below the bladder in males. Prostate glands produce semen. A condition when this gland gets inflamed is called prostatitis. Prostatitis can have many symptoms among which are: frequent and urgent need to urinate and pain or burning when urinating — often accompanied by pelvic, groin or low back pain. Inflammation of the prostate gland is usually caused by bacteria even though there are types of prostatitis when bacteria are not present but the signs of prostatic inflammation are. Also, there can be an acute and chronic form. The acute form is the least common, but is also the most severe and may require hospitalization. Symptoms of chronic prostatitis tend to develop more slowly and aren't as severe as those of acute prostatitis. It's not always possible to cure prostatitis, but in many cases symptoms can be controlled. A variety of treatments as well as self-care measures can provide relief.
