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.
