What is Prostatitis?
Prostatitis is a common condition which is inflammation of the gland caused by bacterial infection, possibly from a urinary tract infection.
Apart from the usual prostate related symptoms described previously, prostatitis may be accompanied by rectal, penile, testicle, and low back pain. A fever or chills may also occur.
Treatment
Acute prostatitis may respond to antibiotics and other medications, but if not and the condition becomes chronic then the prostate may eventually be removed surgically (prostatectomy). The results for sexual activity are the same as with any prostatectomy - erectile dysfunction that may be treatable as described elsewhere.
