Acute prostatitis is a common infectious disease of male genitourinary system. The pathogen of acute prostatitis is mainly colon bacillus accounting for 80 percent. It was through chematogenous infection or direct infection, that bacterial infect the prostate. The main routine is the direct infection through urethra. Main causes of infection are gonorrheal urethritis and bacterial urethritis, by which bacterial are produced and get into the prostate gland through prostatid ducts to cause inflammation. Patients with acute prostatitis have the following symptoms: hypodynamic, feeble, anorectic, nausea and vomiting, pyrogenic, shivery and prostrated together with straining feeling in perineum and hypogastralgia, which will get worse after long-time sitting or defecating and spread pain to waist, back and thigh.
