Prostatism refers to urinary tract symptoms in men. It is not necessarily cancerous. It can be a benign swelling of the prostate that may cause discomfort and even slowed or blocked urine flow. This normally affects older men.

What is prostatism?
[From Federal Citizen Information Center (FCIC) - Understanding Prostate Changes: A Health Guide For All Men]Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, sometimes due to infection.It occurs in men of any age. Doctors typically prescribe antibiotics for the condition, which may occur only once (acute prostatitis) or several times (chronic prostatitis). Sometimes the condition clears up on its own, but men should always seek treatment, say health professionals.Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that may be caused by an infection. The prostate is a male-specific gonadal organ and the prostate gland itself is said to be about the size of a "walnut", with bottom up, and it is close to the bladder. So the prostatitis is often coinfected with cystitis. The prostatic apex stands downwards and the front part is inside the public symphysis. So, the patients with prostatitis often have lower abdominal pain and slight tenderness. The back of the prostate gland is close to the rectum, so long-term constipation or colitis would cause prostatitis. The urethra goes through the prostate gland, and the stimulation of inflammation to prostate makes the gland dropsical and obese, which constricts the urethra and hinders urination.The prostate gland is a human genital gland. It produces prostatic fluid, which is the main component of semen. The hormones secreted by prostate have a variety of physiological functions. The seminal vesicles and prostate are anatomically close to each other. The ejaculatory duct is made up of the excretory duct of the seminal vesicle and the end of seminal duct. The ejaculatory duct goes through the prostate into the urethra. So the prostatitisis often associated with seminal vesiculitis.Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland.
