HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR PROSTATITIS

Are you suffering from recurrent urine infection , pain or burning during urination , frequent urge to urinate , chills and fever , difficulty in urination? All these symptoms indicate that  you may be suffering from prostatitis .

What is prostatitis ? Prostatitis is defined as inflammation of  prostate gland or it may be caused by bacterial infection . Prostatitis is often described as an infection of the prostate.

The primary symptom of chronic infectious prostatitis is usually repeated bladder infections.  Prostatitis is considered chronic if it lasts more than three months.

Prostatitis can be classified as:

• Acute bacterial prostatitis : is a bacterial infection of the prostate gland that requires urgent medical treatment.
• Chronic bacterial prostatitis : is the result of recurrent urinary tract infections that have entered the prostate gland.
• Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome : The condition is marked by urinary and genital pain for at least three of the past six months. Patients have no bacteria in their urine, but may have other signs of inflammation.

How the prostate becomes infected is not clear. The bacteria that cause prostatitis may get into the prostate from the urethra by backward flow of infected urine or stool from the rectum. You are at higher risk for getting prostatitis if you:
