Question 1

what's chronic bacterial prostatitis from?

Accepted Answer

Not all prostatitis: Is bacterial. Perhaps prostate and seminal vesicle congestion may be irritating?  We call prostatis when we cannot make a more specific diagnosis, and you suffer irritative effects.  Commonly, anti-biotics are used, and anti-inflammatories.  But sex, too much or too little, has no established role. Having sex can elevate the psa test, however.

how does age affect chronic bacterial prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

when is bacterial prostatitis considered chronic? i've been dealing with symptoms for two months. can it be cured?

Accepted Answer

Probably at: Six months.  Prostatitis comprises of infectious and inflammatory components.  It can be difficult to control once you lose control of acute phase.  Protracted course of antibiotics up to one or two months is sometimes needed.  Life style modifications such as moderate exercise and avoiding protracted sitting or standing, hydration, hot baths are just as important.  See a urologist.

Question 5

can chronic non-bacterial prostatitis be cured?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: This diagnosis is a potpourri of various still unknown prostate-related disorders. Thus far, some mystery surrounding it is still in the cloud, its reasonable care options are available ranging from taking alpha-blocker, pelvic floor muscle exercise, possible drug use for pelvis nerve (pudental) neuropathy or even nerve block, etc. In short, it's manageable but not necessarily curable. More? Ask.

Question 6

Unknow?: Remember: behind what we know always hides a lot of what we still don't know

chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is a diagnosis of exclusion. The above fact and notion applies to it also. 

In management, to a sense, we handle its related symptoms including irritative or obstructive voiding symptoms or local discomfort with medications, reassurance, adjusting expectation...

See expert as needed.

Question 7

can semen culture detect chronic bacterial prostatitis ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Urine and blood tests are used to detect the infection in chronic bacterial prostatitis. Sometimes a doctor might massage your prostate and test the semen secretions for the infection. Treatment for this condition consists of antibiotics, drugs called alpha blockers which help relieve symptoms &amp; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Warm sitz baths &amp; limiting caffeine &amp; alcohol seem to help sxs.

Question 8

what are symptoms of chronic bacterial prostatitis? smelly cum?

Accepted Answer

Semen odor: And consistency is related to diet, frequency of sex more than prostatitis, which is irritative causing urinary symptoms, and may be be urine odor.  We suspect bacterial cause, but we cannot culture the prostate; we culture urine that passes through the prostatic urethra. Prosca treatment, seed implants, cause chronic prostatis sometime. We frankly do not know specific cause.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: I know of no validated causative link between chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and sexual frequency.

Question 10

is it true that overmasturbation (excess of at least three times a day) can cause chronic non bacterial prostatitis ?

Accepted Answer

Does it cause/cure?: masturbating multiple times a day is listed in non-evidence based online websites as a cause AND cure for chronic bacterial prostatitis.   No medical studies have looked at this aspect of chronic prostatitis and thus no definitive answer is available from a high-level evidence-based perspective.
