Prostatitis can be divided into infectious prostatitis and noninfectious prostatitis. So, some patients may not experience the symptoms at all, while some men are prone to suffer continuous or repeated URSI ( urinary reproductive systematic infection).

When a men is at a low resistance, bacteria hiding in his urethra can enter prostate through prostate pit which is in posterior urethral. When swollen boils skins or inflammation of tonsils, gums, respiratory occurs, blood and lymph are approaches to invade prostate, which can absolutely lead to prostatitis. In addition, virus, trichomoniasis, fungi and mycoplasma can all give rise to prostatitis.
Prostatitis is not always concern with STDs, but it is true that a lot of STD patients are suffering from gonococcal prostatitis, mycoplasma prostatitis and chlamydia prostatitis. When patients are found with prostatitis, tests of gonococci, chlamydia and mycoplasma can not be left out. Actually to diagnosis prostatitis can not be separated from ascertaining its causes.
