Overview
In 350 BC, the anatomical positioning and existence of the prostate gland was explained by Herophilus. Prostatic incitement was recognised as a cause of prostatitis in 1800. In 1978 Drach et al. gave the basis of the current classification of prostatitis.[1]
Historical Perspective
- Herophilus first explained the anatomical existence of the prostate gland in 350 BC.[1]
- In 1800 the most common cause of prostatitis was identified to be incitement of the prostatic gland by exertion, instrumentation, alcohol or intercourse.[1]
- Legneau, in 1815 elaborated the prostatic inflammation for the first time.[1]
- 1906 was the year when the prostatic fluid was first definitively analysed by Young et al.[1]
- Meares and Stamey differentiated the aetiology of prostatitis by using multi glass test in 1968.[2]
- Drach et al. in 1978 first explained the current classification system.[3]
