Bacterial prostatitis is a non-acute infection of the prostate caused by one or more pathogenic bacteria. Like acute bacterial prostatitis, the pathogens are Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Some clinicians believe that Gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus, Streptococcus and diphtheria-like bacteria can also cause prostatitis.

Unlike the prostatic infection caused by Gram-negative bacteria, the prostatic infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria seldom persists or causes recurrent infections, except for prostatitis caused by enterococcus.

However, many authors doubt that Gram-positive bacteria cause chronic prostatitis. At present, there is evidence that chlamydia and mycoplasma can also cause prostate infection, but it is rare.

Normal prostatic fluid contains zinc, which is a powerful antimicrobial factor. In patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, zinc content in prostatic fluid is significantly reduced.

Some authors believe that the antimicrobial factor in male prostatic fluid is a natural defense mechanism against upward infection of genitourinary system, but oral zinc can not stimulate the increase of zinc content in prostatic fluid in male patients.

It is necessary to actively treat acute bacterial prostatitis and prevent the occurrence of chronic bacterial prostatitis. Strict aseptic techniques should be adopted to prevent iatrogenic infection of the anterior fissure gland when transurethral instruments and catheterization are performed.

Antibiotics and Diuretic and Antiphlogistic Pills are both options for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis, one treats symptoms of disease and one treat its fundamental cause, one relieves pain and one is uprooted.

Antibiotics have inherent resistance, patients will often recur in future life, natural plant Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills are derived from nature, grow in the suburbs or wilderness grasslands without chemical pollution, long-term use of human organs damage is relatively small.
