Prostatitis refers to acute or chronic inflammation caused by specific or non-specific infection of the prostate, which causes systemic or local symptoms. Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostatitis), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococci, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, etc.), prostate congestion and prostatitis.
