Patient's question:
Expert, I would like to know what chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is. I'm not very familiar with it, can you help me clarify it for me?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis is an acute inflammation caused by bacterial invasion of the prostate. Patients may experience chills, fever, a drop in body temperature, pain in the groin area, and painful ejaculation during sexual activity. Urination may again cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, or hematuria. If acute prostatitis is not treated promptly, it may become chronic or may expand into a prostate abscess. The treatment for acute prostatitis is not complicated; appropriately using antimicrobial drugs can control the condition. The key is to be patient and allow for recovery, avoiding leaving any lingering issues behind. Chronic prostatitis is further divided into bacterial and non-bacterial types. Chronic bacterial prostatitis has the same cause as acute prostatitis, and most cases are a result of the acute phase not being fully cured and instead becoming chronic.
