Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, in men.
Symptoms of Chronic Prostatitis
* Pain (mono or bilateral testicular soreness, painful heaviness in the perineum and occasionally a lancing burning pain and a feeling of something extraneous in the anus or ampulla of the rectum)
* Urinary disorders (passing small quantities of urine (pollakuria), nocturnal micturition (nicturia), hesitation at the start of micturition)
* Sexual disorders (remature ejaculation, blood in the sperm (hemospermia), loss of libido and erectile dysfunction)
* Reproductive disorders (spermatozoa may lose mobility (astenospermia) or even become completely immobile and have a shortened life-span)
Homeopathic Remedies & Homeopathy Treatment for Prostatitis
Homeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection of remedy is 
based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat Prostatitis but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, several remedies are available to treat prostate gland’s diseases that can be selected on the basis of cause, sensations and modalities of the complaints. For individualized remedy selection and treatment, the patient should consult a qualified homeopathic doctor in person. There are following remedies which are helpful in the treatment of Prostatitis:

What is Prostate gland?
The prostate is a glandular organ lying between the pubic bone and the rectum and between two lines going from the pointed end of the coccyx bone at the back to the upper and to the lower margin of the pubic bone in front. The longer line, a line joining the two, roughly defines the prostate. The base of it lying above, the apex below. The urethra passes through the prostate in such a way that the grater part of the prostate lies under the urethra, the smaller part above. The prostate embraces the urethra rather like a signet ring.
In the adult the prostate has the size and shape of a walnut, being about 12 inches broad, I inch long and 3/4 inch thick. Its average weight is about 42 drachms. This, however, represents the average weight of the prostate when removed from the dead body, covered by its “sheath,” which, as we shall state later on, is not really a part of the prostate, but only the envelope in which it lies. The real weight is less-probably about 3 drachms. The base is directed backwards and upwards towards the bladder, the neck of which it embraces, while the apex looks forwards and downwards. The posterior surface, which is smooth and slightly grooved in the middle line, rests on the rectum, from which it is separated by dense fibrous tissue, which forms part of the “sheath” of the prostate.
The prostate consists of two lateral lobes, between which the ejaculatory ducts enter from behind, before opening into the prostatic part of the urethra. A third, or “median” lobe was described by Sir Everard Home in the early part of the last century as existing in the normal prostate, and Sir Henry Thompson refused to agree. His contention has been almost universally accepted. Practical experience derived from numerous dissections of the healthy prostate and 1,625 operations for removal of the enlarged organ in its capsule, convinced Sir Peter Freyer that Sir Henry Thompson was correct in his view and that the so-called “middle” lobe is merely a pathological product, derived from one or both lobes, and that it is non-existent in the normal prostate. There is, it is true, a median portion or bridge of tissue, sometimes forming a rounded prominence above the ejaculatory ducts in the normal prostate, but this is derived from both lateral lobes, which are in this position more intimately blended than in the rest of their course on either side of the prostatic urethra.
Structurally the prostate is composed of glandular substance and stroma made up of muscular and fibrous tissues. The glandular substance consists of follicular pouches with ducts lined with columnar epithelium. The excretory ducts, from twelve to twenty in number, open into the urethra beside the veru montanum. The muscular tissue forms the bulk of the prostate, its supposed function being to eject the glandular secretion or prostatic fluid to mix with that form the ejaculatory ducts of the testicles.
The function of the prostatic fluid consists in mobilizing the spermatozoids. It the se-men does not contain the prostatic fluid, the spermatozoids are devoid of motion, consequently such an individual is sterile.
The prostate has a general tendency to increase in size after the age of fifty, but not all these men suffer form any subjective symptom through it. From statistics, collected by the late Sir Henry Thompson and others, about 33 per cent. of men beyond 55 years of age are subject to enlargement of the prostate, but no more than 5 per cent. ever suffer from symptoms. This percentage is rather too low. Anyway, as already mentioned in my first statement, the number suffering from troubles due to the enlargement of the prostate is very large. Every practitioner has to deal with them and is aware of the serious symptoms frequently met with in these cases.
