DHT is very unhealthy and has the undesirable effect of stimulating prostate cells into dividing and multiplying, which causes the prostate to enlarge. More than 50 percent of men age 60, and 80 percent of men age 80, are estimated to suffer from BPH. It is important to note that BPH does not necessarily lead to cancer; however, a man can have BPH and cancer at the same time. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate. It is not contagious. Postatitis is a mysterious ailment and most urologists will admit that, though in some cases they do understand its cause, many times they do not. Prostatitis is sometimes caused by bacteria similar to those which cause other types of urinary infections. Some patients however, have no evidence of bacteria in their prostates yet are thought to carry microorganisms such as Chlamydia or Ureaplasma, which are harder to identify by standard culture techniques. Still other patients have no evidence of any microorganisms at all. This makes it very difficult to diagnose and treat.
