The NIH consensus definition and classification of prostatitis: Acute bacterial prostatitis: Caused by a bacterial infection and it typically starts suddenly and may include flu-like symptoms. It is the least common of the four types of prostatitis.
For chronic prostatitis, the exact cause is unknown. Researchers believe: a microorganism can cause chronic prostatitis; your immune system is responding to a previous UTI; your immune system is reacting to nerve damage in the area; For acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis, bacterial infections are the cause.
