Inflammation of the prostate can be acute, bacterial form and, in the case of the running disease, it is a complicated in chronic form.

It is found in most cases by accident, in taking blood tests and finding of the increased amount of white blood cells or bacteria, or by taking a biopsy of the prostate.
In some cases inflammation of the prostate is detected during open surgical procedures in the area of the prostate gland, or when surgery on it.
The symptoms of prostatitis when it is chronic non-bacterial form:

To prevent the deterioration of the situation, it is advisable to immediately consult a doctor, and with prompt treatment, there is a high probability of full recovery of the sexual soundness of men.
- Violation of urination. The need for emptying the bladder is quite common, but completely empty, it does not always work — you have to put in the effort. The stream of urine becomes much thinner, this is due to the presence of primary sclerosing changes of the ureter in the area of the prostate.

At the time of the deterioration often is a person completely deprived of the possibility to urinate, as the prostate is just inflamed block the passage of urine in the urethra or the urine flows drop by drop, literally.
- The feeling of stretching and pain in the bladder , also often accompany the disease in the acute phase. Stagnation of urine favors the development of infections and the formation of salt microcrystals, the harming of the mucous wall of the bladder. Urination in the urine are observed filaments and flakes are in the color white.
- There is often a prolonged erection during sleep, but in the moment of intercourse, she often becomes, so that to complete sexual intercourse, there is no way.

That is why, when the first signs of discomfort, it is advisable to immediately contact a urologist and not to self-appoint themselves to all kinds of traditional medicines, candles, pills and other medicines, having read the reviews on the Internet. Treatment at home is possible only after consultation with a specialist, the price of the issue is your health.
