Prostatitis is an acute or chronic infection of the prostate gland
The gland is swollen and cause irritation in many men
An enlarged prostate ca block the urinary flow
Prevents urine from passing or allow leakage through
There will dribbling of urine or urine retention
There will urgency and frequency of urination
And frequent getting up at night to pass urine
There will interrupted urine flow occurring
All these symptoms are because of a prostate enlargement
Which the doctor can diagnose by poking a finger in the rectum
Warm, soft, swollen, or tender will be felt in place of a normal prostate
Prostate cancer is harder and biopsy will confirm it straight
Treatment is by antibiotics to reduce the infected prostate
And increase the outlet for the outflow of urinary rate
If the urine is still blocked, there is need for catherization
To remove the blocked urine due to the prostate inflammation
-An original poem by Kenneth Kee
Interesting Tips about the Prostatitis
A Healthy Lifestyle
1. Take a well Balanced Diet
2. Antibiotics especially after urine and prostatic fluid bacterial culture to treat prostate infections.
a. For acute prostatitis, you will take antibiotics for 4 to 6 weeks.
b. For chronic prostatitis, you will take antibiotics for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Because the infection can come back, you may need to take medicine for up to 12 weeks.
Often the infection will not go away even after taking antibiotics for a long time.
c. If the swollen prostate gland makes it hard to empty the bladder, a tube is needed to empty it.
The tube may be inserted through the abdomen (suprapubic catheter) or from inside the body (indwelling catheter).
To care for prostatitis at home:
a. Urinate often and completely.
b. Take warm baths to relieve pain.
c. Take stool softeners to make bowel movements more comfortable.
d. Avoid substances that irritate the bladder such as alcohol, caffeinated foods and drinks, citrus juices and hot or spicy foods.
e. Drink more fluid (64 - 128 ounces per day) to urinate often and help flush bacteria out of the bladder.
f. Get checked by the doctor after you finish taking your antibiotic treatment to make sure the infection is gone.
g. Analgesic medicine may be taken for pain
3. Keep bones and body strong
Bone marrow produces our blood
Eat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.
Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.
Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruits
Zinc and other minerals are important to the body
4. Get enough rest and Sleep
Avoid stress and tension
5. Exercise and stay active.
It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 2½ hours a week.
One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.
Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.
6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman.
Alcohol use also increases the chance of falling and breaking a bone.
Alcohol can affect the neurons and brain cells.
7. Stop or do not begin smoking.
It also interferes with blood supply and healing.

Prostatitis
Prostatitis is an acute or chronic infection of the prostate gland.
Prostatitis is swelling and irritation of the prostate gland.
The condition is called bacterial prostatitis when it is caused by an infection with bacteria.
Acute bacterial prostatitis starts quickly.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis lasts for 3 months or more.
Ongoing irritation of the prostate that is not caused by bacteria is called chronic nonbacterial prostatitis.
Prostatitis is usually caused by the following:
1. Enteric Gram negative organism from intestinal or bladder infection or sexually transmitted diseases
2. Tuberculosis occasionally
3. Some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
