Prostatitis

[Sarah]

Prostatitis is pain and swelling, inflammation, or both of the prostate gland.

The cause is sometimes a bacterial infection.
Pain can occur in the area between the scrotum and anus or in the lower back, penis, or testes.
Men feel a frequent, urgent need to urinate, and urination, erection, ejaculation, and defecation may be painful.
Urine and sometimes fluids expressed from the prostate gland are cultured.
Bacterial infection is treated with antibiotics.
Symptoms of prostatitis, regardless of the cause, may be treated with warm sitz baths, relaxation techniques, and drugs.
