Overview
Prostatitis is usually caused by bacterial infection. Fungi may also rarely be responsible for causing prostatitis. Aerobic gram negative bacilliare the most common cause of bacterial prostatitis, with Escherichia coli accounting for 50-80% of cases.[1] Though a single definitive cause has not been established, different theories exist about chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome pathogenesis including chemical damage owing to reflux or autoimmune process.Many experts consider both inflammatory an non-inflammatory causes of chronic prostatitis to be non-infectious in nature.[2]
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no known life-threatening causes of prostaitits.
Common Causes
Bacteria are the most common cause of prostatitis over all. Amongst the bacteria the following are more common causes are:[3]
- Escherichia coli
- Enterobacteriaceae (Klebsiella, Proteus)
- Enterococci
- Pseudomonas species
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Ureaplasma urealyticum
- Mycoplasma genitalium
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Causes of Acute Bacterial Prostatitis
The causes of acute prostatitis include [4][5][6]
- Escherichia coli
- Proteus
- Other members of Enterobacteriaceae
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Gram positive organisms[7][8]
Causes of Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
The causes associated with Chronic bacterial prostatitis include [9][10][11][12][13]
- Escherichia coli (up to 80% cases)[14]
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Enterococcus faecalis
- Proteus mirabilis
- Less common causes
Causes of Chronic inflammatory and non-inflammatory Prostatitis
Many experts consider both these categories to be noninfectious. The non infectious causes of Chronic Prostatitis include[15][16][17][18][19]
- Trauma
- Neurogenic pain
- Autoimmunity
- Higher prostate tissue pressure
- Anxiety
Some studies associated certain organisms with these types of prostatitis and they include:[20][21][22][23]
