Inflammation of the prostate gland.

• A. Prostatitis
• B. Nocturia
• C. Prostate Cancer
• D. Prostatism

Answer: (A)

Inflammation of the prostate gland is prostatitis. This condition means the prostate tissue becomes inflamed, and it can result from infection or other inflammatory processes. People with prostatitis may experience pelvic or perineal pain, urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, burning with urination, and sometimes fever or malaise. The inflammation can appear abruptly as an acute bacterial prostatitis or persist more quietly as chronic prostatitis, including cases without a detected infection.

The other terms describe different urinary issues or diseases. Nocturia is simply waking at night to urinate and isn’t by itself an inflammatory condition. Prostate cancer is a malignant growth of the gland, not an inflammatory process. Prostatism refers to urinary symptoms caused by obstruction, typically from enlarged prostate tissue, without necessarily involving inflammation.
