Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis

Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a persistent inflammation of the prostate caused by bacteria, which tends to present with symptoms that come and go over time.

Common symptoms: pain or burning when urinating, a frequent or urgent need to do so, discomfort in the pelvic area, lower back or genital region, and recurring urinary infections.

When to see a doctor? When this discomfort lasts a long time or comes back, an evaluation is advisable to clarify its origin.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the right professional to study and follow up on chronic bacterial prostatitis. Talking openly about the symptoms with this specialist helps guide the appropriate tests.
