Overview
Pathogenesis
Acute Bacterial Prostatitis
The exact pathogenesis of acute prostatitis is not yet fully understood. Two possible theories include ascending urethral infection from the meatus and the reflux of urine via the ejaculatory and prostatic ducts.[1]
Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
The pathogenesis of chronic bacterial prostatitis is thought to include ascending infection from distal urethra to the prostate.[2]
