I. Symptoms

1. The onset of acute bacterial prostatitis is sudden, with chills and high fever, frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Dysuria or acute urinary retention can occur. Clinically, it is often accompanied by acute cystitis. The prostate is swollen, tender, and the local temperature rises, the surface is smooth, and the abscess is full or fluctuating.

2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis has frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, urinary discomfort or burning when urinating. White secretions often flow from the urethra after urination and after the stool. Sometimes there may be blood, perineal pain, sexual dysfunction, and mental symptoms. The prostate is full, enlarged, soft, and tender. In the long course of the disease, the prostate shrinks, hardens, the surface is incomplete, and there is a small induration.

3. Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and prostate pain clinical manifestations similar to chronic bacterial prostatitis, but no history of repeated urinary tract infections. Mainly for urinary tract irritation, dysuria symptoms, especially the performance of chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Mycoplasma and chlamydia can be cultured in the prostatic fluid of some patients.

Second, diagnosis

Acute bacterial prostatitis is easy to make diagnosis because of its clinical manifestations and typical; the clinical features of chronic prostatitis syndrome vary greatly, and it is not clear. Many symptoms, signs and pathological examinations are in chronic bacterial prostatitis, non- Bacterial prostatitis and prostate pain are often unrecognizable. Radiology and urethroscopic cystoscopy may be helpful for diagnosis, but it is not certain for diagnosis. Prostate histology is only needed in some rare types of prostatitis, such as granulomatous prostatitis. Histological changes in chronic bacterial prostatitis were not specific for determining inflammation as a bacterial cause. A group of 162 consecutive cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia were surgically removed and found to have a 98% incidence of prostatitis. Six clear inflammatory morphological types were observed, but there was no significant difference between positive and negative cultures of prostate bacterial infection. In most cases, the inflammatory response is focal, involving only a small portion of the entire prostate, so prostate biopsy has little guiding significance in the treatment of prostatitis. Prostate biopsy specimen tissue culture has little value in the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis.
