Ascending spread of urethral pathogens may be the mechanisms of infection of the prostate and epididymis. Sexually transmitted organisms cause most epididymitis in young men. Although evidence is mounting to suggest that sexually transmitted organisms may cause prostatitis, data are insufficient at this time to base a therapeutic approach on this concept. The authors present approaches to the management of these two disorders.
