Prostatitis

is the inflamation of the prostate gland, and can be either:

• acute prostatitis
• chronic prostatitis
  • chronic bacterial prostatitis
  • chronic nonbacterial prostatitis
• prostatodynia (also called Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome- CPPS)

Before puberty, there is no prostate inflammation, while the maximum prostatitis frequency can be found in the ages of genital activity, but also in older people, with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
