When to Seek Medical Care

Contact a 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 the genital area
Pain with ejaculation

Doctors usually diagnose and treat prostate infections on an outpatient basis. If a person develops high fever with chills or a new onset of difficulty in urinating, seek medical care immediately or go to a hospital's emergency department because the infection may be spreading to other areas of the body.
