Infection is a pathological process that includes invasion and multiplication of pathogens and effects on the body. Therefore, sensitive antibacterials and drug against other pathogens are the main remedies used to treat infection. Infection can induce inflammatory response, in some certain item, infection is able to maintain a state of equilibrium with the body, and with no inflammatory response. For example, patients who have hepatitis B may not feel anything uncomfortable and sometimes the virus can not do harm to liver. So, similarly, in some cases, prostate infection can stay peacefully with prostate and will not cause any prostatitis symptom.

Inflammation is a reponse of external pessimal stimulation. This pessimal stimulation can caused by infection of bacteria, virus, fungi, parasites or other factors, such as mechanical injury, physical and chemical stimuli, stress response, abnormal immune response, etc.

It seems that infection is not completely equal to inflammation, they can overlap or coexist with each other, and also take on segregation phenomenon. Hence, it is significant to distinguish one from the other in the process of diagnosing and curing the disease.

In fact, microorganisms (bacteria, virus, fungi) can be widespread in prostate. However, there can be no exsitence of pathogens in prostate in healthy men. Further study on prostatitis nosogenesis should be put on the order of the day. As a result, a lot of hypothesis and theories that can systematically explain pathophysiologic procedures of prostatitis are put forward, which fundamentally change out acknowledge of this disease and principle of its treatment.

Traditional ideas are that chronic prostatitis is caused by infection factor or at least starts with pathogens that causes infection. Therefore the vital point of the treatment is to take a large number of antibiotic. Whereas, this method is not effective for prostatitis patients. According to statistics, about 30 percent to 40 percent of patients can be cured by using antibiotic. In recent years, infection factor is not much considered when studying chronic prostatitis, some report says that it is about 5 percent of this factor can affect chronic prostatitis. Hence, it is meaningless for chronic prostatitis to take antibiotic for such a long time with almost no obvious results. As a matter of fact, there have been some effective treatment on prostatitis, such as traditional Chinese medicine treatment Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, which can assist 60% to 80% of patients to recover. We have to say this is a breakthrough of prostatitis treatment.
