Why Do So Many Men Develop Prostatitis?

This is an interesting article but it fails in these respects:

1) "Treatment of nonbacterial prostatitis is more difficult, and no one treatment has been proven to improve symptoms for most men" - this is not correct. Recent studies show the majority of men are helped by both quercetin (~70%) and the Stanford Protocol (70%+). So most men are helped.

2) "flare-ups could be the result of a pelvic muscle spasm or some other cause that mimics symptoms originating in the prostate". Not quite true. The nerves can actually cause the prostate to become inflamed. See the page on pelvic myoneuropathy at www.chronicprostatitis.com

I think a large kidney stone can cause a bacterial protatitis...can someone comment on this

It is true that Quercetin can help prostatitis. I have used it.I also use bee pollen and in one month it seems to be helping.I have had prostatitis since December 2007.Still even though Quercetin and bee pollen help i do get a flare up about once or twice a month. They are very uncomfortabe and can last for one to three hours.Before i took Quercetin and bee pollen i would get flare ups once four to five times a month so there is improvement but no cure as yet. I do find that sugar,coffee,alcohol,spicy food, and stress will bring on a flare up attack quickly. Hopeing that the Medical Profession will soon find a cure

P.S I am 73 years old with an enlarged prostate.
