Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Prostate tension: You MAY have prostatitis, which is an infection of the prostate. Please see your doc who can diagnose you and help. You are young for enlarged prostate but he/she will check for that also. Some guys have nerve damage, often from bike riding, that is another possibility. Peace and good health.
