Prostatitis is a benign (non life threatening) condition. It is NOT prostate cancer. It is caused by inflammation (swelling) of the prostate. It can cause discomfort deep inside the pelvis – all the time or when passing urine or with ejaculation. It can be painful and can spread to other areas of the pelvis. If caused by an infection it may be treated with antibiotics. Treatment is specific to each case and some types of prostatitis can be harder to treat, especially if symptoms have been ignored for some time.
