What Is It?
As the name suggests, it is the inflammation of the prostate gland. It is one of the most common prostate issues that affects sexually active males. As per various estimates, 10-25% of men will have prostatitis sometime in their lives. It means that it is the most common prostate issue in men younger than 50 years of age.
Should I Be Concerned?
Yes, definitely. Moreover, do not confuse prostatitis with BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia). If untreated, some people may develop complications like abscess formation or infect surrounding structures. In others, the infection may become chronic, and such an infection is quite challenging to eradicate. That is why one should seek medical attention as early as possible.
How Can I Treat It?
The doctor will perform tests and prescribe a course of antibiotics to treat this condition. In chronic cases, one will need to be treated with 4 to 6 weeks of antibiotics. As one can see, prostatitis can be a complex health issue and may cause severe complications. Thus, one should seek attention for the condition even if symptoms are mild.
