6. Category I: Acute Bacterial Prostatitis
It is caused by bacterial infection of the prostate gland.
It is much less common than chronic prostatitis but is easier to identify

7. Pathophysiology
Microbiologic causes
Risk Factor

8. Microbiogic Causes
Gram-negative members of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
They include Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Serratia species.
E coli is responsible for 65% – 80% of the cases
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Serratia species are responsible for 10% - 15%

9. Microbiogic Causes
Obligate anaerobic bacteria and gram-positive bacteria other than enterococci rarely cause acute bacterial prostatitis.
Enterococci account for 5-10% of documented prostate infections.
Staphylococcus aureus infection due to prolonged catheterization may occur in the hospital.

10. Microbiogic Causes
Other occasional causative organisms include Neisseria gonorrhea, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Salmonella species, Clostridium species, and parasitic or mycotic organisms. N gonorrhea should be suspected in sexually active men younger than 35 years.

11. Risk Factors
Intraprostatic urinary reflux

12. Risk Factor Ascending urethral infection sexual intercourse
instrumentation
prolonged catheterization
Direct invasion or lymphogenous spread from the rectum
Direct hematogenous infection
Unprotected anal intercourse
Acute epididymitis
Altered prostatic secretions
Phymosis and redundant skin

13. Clinical presentation
Systemic symptoms:
fever,chilis, malaise, arthalgia, vomiting, septicemia and hypotension
Irritative symptoms:
dysuria, frequency, urgency
Obstructive symptoms:
hesitancy, poor interrupted stream, strangury, and even acute urinary retention are common.
Perineal and suprapubic pain

14. Physical Examination Vitals Abdomen Ex DRE:
enlarged, tender, firm prostate gland
Note:avoid vigorous prostatic massage in a patient with suspected acute bacterial prostatitis to prevent bacteremia and sepsis.

15. Work up Complete blood count: leukocytosis Urine analysis:
It shows large number of WBC
Urodynamics:
Helps to avoid misdiagnosis of prostatitis

16. Work up Serum prostate-specific antigen:
PSA has little to no clinical value.
If the PSA level is obtained and is found to be elevated the study should be repeated days after adequate treatment.

17. Work up Imaging Studies :
CT scanning of the pelvis or transrectal ultrasonography
Indications:
1-Laboratory analysis findings are equivocal
2- No improvement is observed following medical therapy.
3- Ruling out complications of prostatitis (eg, prostatic abscess)

18. Work up Prostate biopsy:
It is contraindicated in cases of suspected acute bacterial prostatitis
Complications:
1-Seeding the bacterial infection in adjacent organs.
2-Sepsis.

19. Managemet
Medical treatment
Surgical Treatment

20. Medical treatment Supportive therapy:
Antipyretics, analgesics, stool softeners, bed rest, and increased fluid intake provide
Urinary retention:
A Foley catheter can be inserted gently for drainage if severe obstruction is suspected. A punch suprapubic tube can be used if a catheter cannot be passed easily or is not tolerated by the patient. The catheter can be removed hours later.

21. Medical treatment Antibiotic therapy
The initial therapy must be directed to Gram-ve microorganism.
Useful agents include fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and ampicillin with gentamicin.

22. Medical treatment Intravenous therapy,
use trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), 8-10 mg/kg/d (based on the trimethoprim component) in 2-4 intravenous doses bid, tid, or qid until the culture and sensitivity results are known.
An alternate regimen is gentamicin with ampicillin 3-5 mg/kg/d IV (gentamicin dose divided tid and 2 g ampicillin divided qid).

23. Medical treatment
If the initial clinical response to therapy is satisfactory, treatment is continued orally for 30 days to prevent sequelae such as chronic bacterial prostatitis and prostatic abscess formation.

24. Medical treatment For oral therapy,
Use trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), 160 mg of trimethoprim and 800 mg of sulfamethoxazole, PO bid for 30 days.
Use levofloxacin (Levaquin) 500 mg PO bid; ciprofloxacin, 500 mg PO bid; norfloxacin, 400 mg PO bid; ofloxacin, 400 mg PO bid; or enoxacin, 400 mg PO bid for 30 days when clinical response is favorable.

25. Medical treatment Alpha-blocker therapy :
It improve outflow obstruction and diminish intraprostatic urinary reflux
Terazosin 5 mg/d PO for 4-52 wk,
Tamsulosin (Flomax), alfuzosin (UroXatral) and doxazosin (Cardura) are acceptable alternatives

26. Complication of acute prostatitis
Prostatic Abscess
Progression to chronic prostatitis, septicemia,
Pyelonephritis, and
Epididymitis.

27. Surgical Treatment
Indication:
Prostatic Abscess

28. Prostatic abscess Prostatic abscess is an uncommon but well-described.
Coliform bacteria, especially E coli, cause more than 70% of prostatic abscesses
Risk Factors:
Immunocompromised DM
Urethral instrumentation.
Prolonged indwelling urethral catheters.
Patients on maintenance dialysis.

29. Management
Clindamycin intravenously at mg q8h or orally at mg q8h is a good choice. However, medical management is often unsuccessful.
Transrectal or perineal aspiration of the abscess
if symptoms do not improve after 1 week of medical therapy.
Transurethral resection of the prostate and drainage of the abscess. Recurrent abscesses are rare.
The abscess should be allowed to drain and should be monitored closely if a spontaneous rupture occurs into the urethra.

30. Category II: Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
35-55% of men have prostatitis symptoms.
Recent studies show that prostatitis has the same effect on a patient's mental health as does diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure.
Recent studies using the US National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) found that the prevalence of prostatitis symptoms was 10% in a population of men aged years.

31. Clinical Presentation
Genitourinary pain
it occurs in the perineal area, penile tip, testicles, rectum, lower abdomen, and back.
Patients can also have irritative or obstructive urologic symptoms
Other symptoms include a clear-to-milky urethral discharge, ejaculatory pain, hematospermia, and sexual dysfunction.

32. Physical Examination
Physical examination findings are often nonspecific
The classic presentation :
an enlarged, soft, or, boggy gland that is moderately-to-severely tender upon palpation.
In some cases, an examiner is able to palpate prostatic stones..

33. Pathophysiology Predisposing factors: Acute bacterial prostatitis
Prostatic calculi
Uretheral stricture and refluxing urine

34. Pathology Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Proteus species
Staphylococcus species
Enterococcus species
Trichomonas species
Candida species
C trachomatis
U urealyticum
M hominis

35. Work up
The 2 glass test
Positive urine culture findings after a prostatic massage
Criteria for the diagnosis:
1- WBCs in an EPS is more than 10 WBCs/hpf (40X objective) or an observation of clumping WBCs with the presence of oval fat bodies
2- a positive EPS culture finding   

36. Work up Imaging Studies: Transrectal Ultrasound or CT pelvis
It is useful for detecting prostaric calculi
Prostate biopsy:

37. Work up
If the patient has frequent recurrences of chronic prostatitis, other tests may help exclude an anatomic obstruction due to:
1- prostatic hyperplasia,
2- urinary stricture disease, bladder neck dysfunction.
Retrograde urethrography, uroflowmetry, and postvoid residual testing and cystoscopy.

38. Management Antimicrobial therapy: The Ideal antibiotics must have:
1- Higher dissociation constant to allow diffusion of their un-ionized components into the prostate.
2-The antibiotic must be basic, it can readily concentrate much in the gland

39. Management The best antibiotic choices include
1-trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) at mg given twice a day
2-fluoroquinolone antibiotics (eg, ciprofloxacin at 500 mg or ofloxacin at 400 mg) twice a day
3-gatifloxacin/moxifloxacin at 400 mg daily.
NOTE :TMP-SMZ yields a 33-50% cure rate with a 4- to 6-week course of treatment. Fluoroquinolones yield a similar cure rate with a 4-week course.

40. Management If oral antibiotic therapy fails, use other antibiotics.
These may include carbenicillin or doxycycline or injections of gentamicin, either parenterally or directly into the prostate.

41. Management
Persistent infections, especially those who have symptom improvement while on antibiotics but quickly have a recurrence after finishing a course of antibiotics, may benefit from suppressive therapy with low daily doses of antibiotics.
Good choices are tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, nalidixic acid, cephalexin, or trimethoprim.

42. Management Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and alpha-blockers .
Surgical Treatment
TURP or TUVP are not indicated except in certain condition when a patient has recurrent episodes of chronic prostatitis and improves with antibiotics

43. Category III: Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
There is no difference between Category IIIA and Category IIIB
It is the most common category of prostatitis
It affects the quality of life

44. Pathophysiology The etiology (or etiologies) of CPPS remains unknown
Special signaling molecules called cytokines, which are produced by WBCs (and by other cells), may play a role.
Genetic factors
Autoimmunity,

45. Pathophysiology Testosterone
Abnormal functioning of the nervous system
Psychological stress and depression

46. Clinical presentation
The predominant is pain, which was most commonly localized to the perineum, suprapubic area, and penis but can also occur in the testes, groin, or low back.
Pain during or after ejaculation is one of the most prominent, important, and bothersome feature in many patients .

47. Clinical presentation
Irritative and obstructive voiding symptoms including urgency, frequency, hesitancy, and poor interrupted flow are associated with this syndrome in many patients .
Erectile dysfunction and sexual disturbances .

48. Clinical presentation
The syndrome becomes chronic after 3 months' duration.
The symptoms tend to wax and wane over time;
The impact of this condition on health status is significant.

49. Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index
Pain symptoms (4 questions):
Q1-In the past week, have you experienced any pain (1) between your rectum and testicles, (2) in the testicles, (3) in the tip of the penis, or (4) below your waist?
Q2-In the past week, have you experienced pain or burning upon urination or pain or discomfort during or after sexual intercourse?

50. Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index
Q3 -How often have you had pain in any of the above areas over the last week?
Q4 -Over the last week, which number (1-10) best describes your average pain or discomfort on the days that you had it?

51. Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index
Urinary symptoms (2 questions) :
Q1 -Over the last week, how often have you had the sensation of not emptying your bladder completely after you finished urinating?
Q2 -Over the last week, how often have you had to urinate again less than 2 hours after you finished urinating?

52. Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index
Impact of symptoms (2 questions):
Q1-Over the last week, how much have your symptoms kept you from doing the kinds of things you would usually do?
Q2-Over the last week, how much did you think about your symptoms?

53. Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index
Quality of life:
Q- If you were to spend the rest of your life with your symptoms just the way they have been during the last week, how would you feel about that?

54. Physical Examination No finding is pathognomonic.
Examination of the genitalia reveals normal results.
Digital rectal examination
it may reveal a tight anal sphincter(when the anal sphincter tone is hyperactive, a verifiable spastic neuropathy must be excluded).

55. Physical Examination
The prostate and adjacent tissues may be moderately to severely tender, and the gland itself may be slightly congested or boggy. However, the presence of a small, relatively firm gland does not exclude the possibility of CPPS type III.

56. Work up
2-Glass test
Imaging Studies
Videourodynamics
Cystoscopy

57. Management
There is no complete cure

58. Management It is not recommeneded to give antibiotic to CPPS
Pain management :
Non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs
Biovolinic acid
Saw palmetto
Cernilton

59. Management Bladder neck dysfunction:
alpha-blockers such as Flomax ( mg).
Terazosin (2-15 mg) or doxazosin (2-8 mg) given in a dose titration.
Alpha-blocker therapy should be continued for a minimum of 6 months or symptoms may recur.

60. Management
Irritative voiding symptoms:
Anticholinergics such as oxybutynin (5 mg bid/tid) or tolterodine (1-2 mg bid)
significant pelvic floor tension:
-Diazepam (5 mg tid), methocarbamol (1500 mg tid) or cyclobenzaprine (10 mg tid).
-Sitz baths may be helpful.
-Manual self-massage of the perianal area may also provide some relief from pelvic floor tension.

61. Category IV: Asymptomatic Inflammatory Prostatitis
does not cause symptoms.
The patients present with BPH, an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, prostate cancer, or infertility.
Subsequent microscopy of EPS or semen, and histologic examination of BPH chips, prostate cancer specimens, or prostate biopsies disclose evidence of prostatic inflammation.
