Feedback:
Acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) usually results from an ascending urinary tract infection, such as with Escherichia coli. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in which the prostate gland enlarges. Prostate cancer primarily occurs in men older than 50 years, with a peak incidence at around 75 years; these two conditions are not related to prostatitis. Orchitis, inflammation of the testes, may result from infection or injury and is also not a causative factor for prostatitis.
