Prostatitis is a condition in which a male might have troubles urinating due to infection and inflammation.

Signs of Prostatitis

Men can suffer from a few different types of prostatitis, with varying symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms include:

• Pain and burning during urination
• Impotence
• Frequent urination
• Pain in the abdomen
• Fever
• Pain in the penis, scrotum, and perineum areas
• Pain during ejaculation

While many of these signs are similar to the signs of prostate cancer, they are not the same disease.

Treating Prostatitis

For those who are suffering from prostatitis, it might seem there are few **prostate health resources** prostate-health-links.html for them. But there are a large number of treatments which are available for this condition which can be recommended by a physician. The doctor can prescribe:

• Large doses of antibiotics via shots for bacterial prostatitis.
• Prostate massage to alleviate pain
• Pain medications
• Alpha blockers

All of these prostate treatments can be used at once or they might be used one at a time to see which treatment is most effective. For some men, the antibiotics will be all they need, but other men may suffer from prostatitis chronically, requiring daily pain therapies.
