Inflammation of the prostate gland is uncommon and is usually caused by coliform bacteria. Acute and chronic forms are recognised. Predisposing factors include urinary tract infection and instrumentation. It is often a nasty, painful disease, diagnosed on rectal examination by a very tender prostate.
