Prostatitis means your prostate may be inflamed or irritated, coupled with a burning urination feeling triggered to go more frequent. For some, a fever or tiredness comes along with it.
Inflammation, no matter where, indicates your body is fighting germs or repairing an injury.
Some bacteria or parasite infections cause prostatitis, such as:
An antibiotic clears up some of these prostate infections.
However, most of the time, bacteria is not the cause of prostatitis. As such, other possible inflammation contributors are considered, possibly a kidney stone or cancer.
Only after all possible causes for your prostate inflammation or urinary problems have been ruled out, then you may be left with a diagnosis of non bacterial prostatitis.
Next challenge will be finding a treatment that is right for you. The major “head scratcher” with this non-specified prostatitis condition is unfortunately no single solution works for everybody.
Diet changes, warm baths and prescription alpha-blockers may help.
