Management • Eggs• Milk• Soya• Fish• Cheese• Chicken

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is a general term that refers to inflammation (swelling) of the prostate gland, which is caused by an infection.

Etiology

• A bacterial infection is only sometimes responsible.• In many cases of chronic (long-term) prostatitis, doctors

can't find any infection in the prostate gland, In these cases, the cause is poorly understood.

• Chronic prostatitis is thought to be caused by a number of suggested factors, including partial blockage of the flow of urine and underlying problems with the immune system, pelvic floor or nervous system.

Symptoms:

• Pain in the pelvis, genitals, lower back and buttocks• Pain when urinating• Frequent need to urinate• Difficulty urinating, such as problems starting or 'stop-

start' urination• Pain when ejaculating, which may contribute to erectile

dysfunction• Discomfort in the perineal area (the area between the

scrotum and the anus)
