Answer

[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.
