Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, and it can significantly affect quality of life. It ranges from acute bacterial infection — which can cause fever and severe symptoms — to chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which cause lingering pelvic discomfort and urinary symptoms.

Unlike BPH, it commonly affects younger and middle-aged men. Identifying which type you have is the key to treating it, because bacterial and non-bacterial cases are managed very differently.
A clear, step-by-step pathway — with same-day testing wherever possible, and kind, attentive care.
We characterise the pain pattern and urinary symptoms to classify the prostatitis.
Urinalysis identifies infection quickly and guides treatment.
Examination and ultrasound assess the prostate and exclude other causes.
Bacterial cases get targeted antibiotics; chronic cases get a combination of measures over time.
Chronic pelvic pain often needs patience and a combination of treatments rather than a single antibiotic course — being told this honestly at the outset saves frustration. Prostatitis can also temporarily raise PSA, so a raised result during infection is interpreted in context.
Prostatitis is diagnosed carefully here rather than met with a blanket antibiotic, separating bacterial from non-bacterial cases so treatment matches the problem. Care is led by a board-certified urologist with kind, attentive support to keep a frustrating condition clearly explained.
Not usually, though some infections can be involved. Testing identifies the cause; if an STI is relevant, it is addressed confidentially.
Chronic and non-bacterial cases often need a combination of measures over time rather than a single antibiotic course. We set realistic expectations.
Yes — it can temporarily raise PSA, which is why the result is interpreted in context rather than alone.
Acute bacterial prostatitis with fever needs prompt treatment — seek care quickly.
