Prostatitis is the Disease of the Male reproductive system. There are two types of prostatitis, namely acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. The symptoms and treatments of the two are roughly the same. The biggest difference is that chronic prostatitis lasts longer than acute prostatitis and the treatment effect is less effective. If left untreated, acute prostatitis mostly lasts a week or longer. Chronic prostatitis often lasts for weeks or months.
