Explanation
Prostatitis is an inflammation or infection of the prostate (the gland surrounding the neck of the bladder and urethra). Prostatitis is not contagious. It may rarely accompany cancer of the prostate.
Considerations
The signs & symptoms are: 1) Urgency to urinate. 2) Burning with urination. 3) Frequent urination; waking to urinate at night. 5) Difficulty starting urination and emptying the bladder completely. 6) Fever; chills. 7) Pain between the scrotum and anus. 8) Joint and muscle aches. 9) Blood in the urine (sometimes) or semen. 10) Low back pain. 11) Pain with a doctor’s rectal examination. Usually it is caused from a bacterial infection. Smoking is a contributor. Remaining sexually active is a good prevention.
