Prostatitis

Johns Hopkins Health Alerts Prostate Disorders Prostatitis

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that may cause pain in the lower back and in the area between the scrotum and rectum (the perineum). Prostatitis affects up to two million men in the US each year. Men can develop prostatitis at any age, particularly from their 30s onwards.

Prostatitis can severely affect one's quality of life. Up until recently, little has been know about this disease. In this section, we report on the latest breakthroughs on prostatitis, the four different kinds of prostatitis, and the treatments for each kind of prostatitis.

We also discuss prostatodynia, a condition that causes the same symptoms as prostatitis, but is not associated with infection or inflammation.

Prostatitis Articles:

(acute prostatitis, chronic prostatitis, bacterial prostatitis, non-bacterial prostatitis, prostatodynia)

More on Prostatitis:

  • Diagnosing Prostate Disease Alert: The Inflammation - Prostate Cancer Link

  • Prostate Glossary

    All the articles in the Prostate area are derived from our monthly newsletter, Johns Hopkins Health After 50, our quarterly Johns Hopkins Prostate Bulletin, and our annual Johns Hopkins White Paper: Prostate. All of these publications are authored by the specialists at the Johns Hopkins James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute.
