Prostate Infections (cont.)

When to Seek Medical Care

Contact your doctor for any of the following symptoms. These symptoms are even more significant if accompanied with high fever and chills:

  • Urinary burning or pain
  • Difficulty passing urine
  • Difficulty or pain when starting urination
  • Pain in your genital area
  • Pain with ejaculation

Doctors usually diagnose and treat prostate infections on an outpatient basis. If you develop high fever with chills or a new onset of difficulty in urinating, go to a hospital's emergency department.
