A member asked:
How do i know if i have prostatitis or another prostate issue? seems the symptoms are the same. is there a difference in the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope, no difference: Distinguishing prostatitis from other causes of similar symptoms (e.g., urinary urgency, bladder discomfort, testicular or low abdominal pain, etc) is difficult even for an expert doctor and impossible based on symptoms alone. Also, there are several kinds of prostatitis, with different treatments. Professional evaluation is needed, preferably by a urologist. Good luck!
