The prostate is a crucial part of the male reproductive system. You will find this organ below your urinary bladder and in front of your rectum (part of the intestine). The prostate surrounds a part of the urethra. The prostate gland secretes some fluid into the urethra called prostatic fluid.

What Is Prostatitis?

Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate gland.

As the prostate surrounds some portion of the urethra, it can sometimes affect your ability to urinate. The location of the prostate gland is not a problem, but when it gets enlarged (Benign Prostate enlargement) or inflamed (Prostatitis), it can squeeze the urethra and cause difficulty in urination.

Types of Prostatitis:

1. Acute Bacterial Prostatitis: It is caused due to an infection in the prostate by bacteria like E. coli and Klebsiella. It occurs suddenly and may present with flu-like symptoms.

2. Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis: It occurs due to recurrent bacterial infections of the prostate gland. Symptoms are less severe than acute prostatitis.

3. Chronic Prostatitis/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome/Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis: Most cases of prostatitis fall in this category. It can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory depending on the presence or absence of bacteria.

4. Asymptomatic Inflammatory Prostatitis: The patient may not have any symptoms but shows the presence of infection-fighting cells (antibodies) in the semen. Is identified accidentally during infertility or prostate cancer treatment.

Homeopathic Treatment for Prostatitis:

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which beliefs in stimulating our immune system so that it is capable of fighting the disease prevalent in the body.

Chronic Prostatitis and Recurring Prostatitis can be treated with Homeopathy.

This helps us to treat the disease from its root level and prevent further progress of the disease.

Duration of the Treatment:

The duration of homeopathic treatment for prostatitis depends on the following factors:

1. The age of the patient
2. The duration of the disease
3. Physical health and nutrition of the patient
4. The underlying cause, in case of infection, its severity, the use of drugs like antibiotics, and drug dependency.
