Prostatitis is an inflammation affecting the prostate gland, affecting 30% to 50% of sexually active men and generally affecting those under the age of 50. Acute bacterial prostatitis is due to a bacterial infection of the gland. The onset of prostatitis results in several types of complaints, ranging from problems during urination, to localized pain in the back, prostate, and groin, erectile dysfunction, and more. Individuals with acute prostatitis complain of localized pain in the prostate, lower back, or groin, urinary discomfort such as slow and labored urination, feeling of an urgent need to urinate, high fever, dysuria (difficulty or pain during urination), and hematuria (discharge of blood with urine).
