Prostatitis Urinary Tract Infection(UTI) and Prostatitis Frequent

best treatment for chronic prostatitis easily causes other diseases, and urinary tract infection is one of complications along with it.

prostate gland and urinary tract both belong to urinary and reproductive system. many research prove that prostatitis and urinary tract infection are infected by the same strain of bacteria, that is escherichia coli. if both they get inflamed, they may share the same symptoms. the link between prostatitis and urinary tract infection is strong. but what is the link?

urinary tract goes through the middle of prostate and is surrounded by it. the parts surrounded by prostate is often called prostatic urethra, from bladder to urogenital diaphragm. prostate fluid produced by prostate can fight against Gram-negative bacteria and help man prevent from urinary tract infection. at the same time, prostate fluid expels through urinary tract. therefore, infected prostate gland could be a risk factor of triggering urinary tract infection. acute bacterial prostatitis is often along with acute urinary tract infection, and chronic bacterial prostatiis presents with recurrent urinary tract infections.

Though the acute one often with sharp symptoms, it can be cured well with antibiotics treatment because of the high concentration of antibiotics in urine.

as to the chronic one, the bacteria couldn't be killed totally. here are the main reasons.
- Antibiotic therapy has to overcome the blood/prostate barrier that prevents many antibiotics from reaching levels that are higher than minimum inhibitory concentration. A blood-prostate barrier restricts cell and molecular movement across the rat ventral prostate epithelium.
- new prostatitis treatment often with calculus which makes good breeding grounds for bacteria, reducing the effect of antibiotics.

in return, urinary tract infection can result in prostatitis. the bacteria that cause prostatitis may get into to prostate from the urethra by backward flow of infected urine or stool from the rectum
