Patient's question:
If a doctor has prostatitis, is it bacterial or non-bacterial? My friend, he recently has prostatitis, the doctor gave him medication, and then he asked me, is prostatitis bacterial or non-bacterial? But I'm not trained in this field, and I don't understand, so I wanted to ask you.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis in males mainly has two types. One is prostatitis caused by bacterial infection, which can generally be treated with medication. The other type is not infectious, meaning it is not caused by bacteria, and is usually treatable with stable lifestyle habits. Therefore, if medication is being used, it should be bacterial infection-induced prostatitis.
