Question

_____ has a slow onset of signs and symptoms resembling acute bacterial prostatitis that wax and wane.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Chronic bacterial prostatitis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, which may or may not be associated with a bacterial infection.

The causes of prostatitis are diverse and depend on the type of pathogen that has caused inflammation of the prostate. These may be of bacterial or non-bacterial origin.

Symptoms may differ from each other if prostatitis is caused by a bacterial or non-bacterial origin. But both share the behaviors of:

• Burning, stinging or itching sensation when urinating (dysuria).
• Polyaquiuria (frequent need to urinate).
• Blood in the urine.
