As a man, your chances of having prostate issues significantly increase as you age. Prostatitis is one of the problems you may experience in your life.
You can get prostatitis at any age, and it's linked to inflammation or infection in your prostate. Sometimes, it's hard for the team to diagnose because it can mimic other conditions.
Suppose you're having trouble with urination or pain in your groin. In that case, the team at NY Urology has the expert diagnostic tools to give you the proper diagnosis. Our two expert nephrologists include Dr. David Shusterman and Dr. Chong-Min Kim.

Your prostate gland is an essential component of the reproductive system. Your prostate gland sits under your bladder, and your urethra passes right through the middle of your prostate.
Prostatitis is a term that encompasses four conditions that cause issues with your prostate gland. Two types of prostatitis are linked to infections in your urinary system, while the others aren't.
Each type of prostatitis affects your prostate gland differently. The four types of prostatitis include:

When you have chronic bacterial prostatitis, you have recurrent urinary tract infections that are difficult to treat. With this form of the condition, bacteria are caught in your prostate gland, leading to chronic illness.
You're at risk for acute bacterial prostatitis if you have a urinary tract infection. You may have a fever or chills and have urinary symptoms. You need prompt treatment for this condition to avoid dangerous complications.
CPPS is the most prevalent form of prostatitis. You may have chronic pelvic pain syndrome if you have chronic pain in your perineum, genitals, or pelvis.
