Prostatitis is hard to detect and treat, and unlike prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it strikes young and middle-aged men. The condition is detected in urine and prostate fluid samples and thoroughly examination of the prostate, through digital rectal examination, involving the insertion of a well lubricated gloved finger into the rectum. This way, the physician can detect any prostate abnormality. A prostate specific antigen (PSA) test can be made on blood samples, but both prostatitis and prostate cancer boost the levels of PSA . Currently, prostatitis is classified as nonbacterial, acute, and chronic. The most common prostatitis is the nonbacterial type, characterized by frequent urination and pain in the lower abdomen or lower back area. It is caused by stress and irregular sexual activity.
