- Chronic non-bacterial) — develops on the background of neuromuscular diseases infectious or appears as the result of inflammatory processes occurring in the body for a long period of time. All of the factors that contribute to the development of the inflammatory process, physicians install and failed.
- Asymptomatic (asymptomatic) — may appear as a disease cover, is growing rapidly, but, particularly, the symptomatology has not. Signs of inflammation are mild. In some cases, the disease does not require treatment and can work independently, after elimination of the first cause.
- Chronic granulomatous – occurs on the background of the substitution of the tissue of the prostate growths of fibrous tissue with granules inside. In the granules can be foci of necrosis. The disease develops as a complication after undergoing surgery on the pelvic organs, or as the result of an infection occurring in the tissues.

| Blennorrhagique | The gonococci. | Infection occurs during unprotected sexual contact. |
| Viral | The herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, human papilloma virus. | The main risk of the disease lies in the fact that the virus cells proliferate actively and may hit the cells of the neighbouring organs. |
| Tb | The Bacillus Of Koch. | This type of infection is dangerous because is difficult to treat, occurs as a disease associated with the active basic of the tb. |
| Fungal | The fungi of the genus Candida. | Develops on the background of taking antibiotics or after a non-protected sexual intercourse with a woman the lily of the valley. |
| Mixed | 2 type of infection. | Extremely rare and may be a consequence of infection by the 2 types of bacteria. |
