Prostatitis is a common disease among adult men, with the main symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, hematuria, yellowing urine, excessive nocturnal urination, and decreased sexual function. As more and more people become infected with prostatitis, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to such diseases. But there are still many people who do not understand such diseases. In response to this situation, let's invite experts to introduce what prostatitis is and how it is classified.
What is prostatitis
Prostatitis refers to acute and chronic inflammation caused by prostate specific and non specific infections, resulting in systemic or local symptoms. Prostatitis can be divided into nonspecific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostatitis), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococcus, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as toxins, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.), prostate congestion, and prostate pain.
Classification of prostatitis:
Class I, Acute Bacterial Prostatitis: Caused by bacterial infection, characterized by acute onset and severe symptoms, with systemic symptoms. Prostate fluid examination showed a large number of white blood cells and pus cells, and bacterial culture was positive.
Category 2: Chronic bacterial prostatitis: It is also caused by bacterial infection, 85% of which is caused by Escherichia coli. The disease has a long course and repeated symptoms. The prostate fluid test is positive, and bacterial culture is positive.
Category III, A: Chronic non bacterial prostatitis: It may be related to mycoplasma and chlamydia infections, with a long course and certain difficulties in treatment. Prostate fluid tests are positive and bacterial culture is negative.
B: Prostate pain: The cause of the disease is unknown, and the patient has conscious symptoms. The prostate test is negative, and bacterial culture is negative.
Category 4: Asymptomatic chronic prostatitis: Patients with chronic prostatitis have no obvious symptoms and are often discovered during physical examination.
The above is an expert's introduction to the classification of prostatitis and prostate. If you have any further information about this knowledge, you can contact online experts in a timely manner. If you really have frequent urination, urgency, or hematuria, you should promptly go to the hospital for examination and medication under the guidance of a doctor to strive for an early recovery. Finally, I wish the vast majority of patients can recover their health as soon as possible and get rid of the troubles of disease.
