Prostatitis

What Causes Prostatitis?

In order to deal properly with prostatitis we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors.  We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow prostatitis to develop?"

Diagnose your symptoms now!
  • understand what's happening to your body
  • see your health summarized and in detail
  • identify any nutritional deficiencies

Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind prostatitis consists of three steps:

Step 1: List the Possible Causative Factors

Identify all disease conditions, lifestyle choices and environmental risk factors that can lead to prostatitis.  Here are three possibilities:
  • Vasectomy Side-Effects
  • Lymphatic Congestion
  • Low Melatonin

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

Identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:
having very low melatonin levels
somewhat disturbed sleep
having had a vasectomy
postauricular node problems
frequent swollen inguinal nodes
minor joint pain/swelling/stiffness
multiple painful cervical nodes
frequent swollen cervical nodes
swollen axillary nodes
high systolic blood pressure
eating during sleep hours
multiple painful inguinal nodes
... and so on

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of prostatitis:
Cause Probability Status
Lymphatic Congestion 99% Confirm
Low Melatonin 30% Unlikely
Vasectomy Side-Effects 4% Ruled out
* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
