Prostatitis is an inflamation of the prostate gland and is a common condition affecting many, if not most, men at some time in their lives. Like sinusitis, it can be acute, chronic, infectious, allergic, inflammatory or even psychosomatic. While frequently disquieting and unpleasant it is rarely serious or life threatening. There is no relationship between prostatitis and prostate cancer! Contrary to folklore, prostatitis, no matter how severe or long lasting, has not been shown to lead to prostate cancer. There are three general types of prostatitis, bacterial prostatitis, the most common type, generally associated with a bacterial infection ; non-bacterial or inflammatory prostatitis, when no infection is present; and prostatosis , or chronic pain in the prostate a subset of non-bacterial prostatitis.
