Prostatitis is an umbrella term for a variety of medical conditions that incorporate bacterial and non-bacterial origin illnesses in the pelvic region. In contrast with the plain meaning of the word (which means "inflammation of the prostate"), the diagnosis may not always include inflammation. Prostatitis is classified into acute, chronic, asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis, and chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Prostatitis is een ontsteking aan de prostaat. Prostatitis is een bekende klacht voor jonge en middelbare mannen, wanneer zij problemen met hun urinewegen hebben. Er worden verschillende soorten prostatitis onderscheiden, zoals chronische en acute prostatitis. Prostatitis kan gepaard gaan met koorts, koude rillingen en pijn in de genitaalstreek maar het kan ook asymptomatisch verlopen. Prostatitis wordt gediagnosticeerd door middel van urineonderzoek in het laboratorium. Bij prostatitis is ook het PSA verhoogd. De behandeling hangt af van de soort prostatitis en varieert van helemaal niets doen tot gebruik van antibiotica.
