Acute Prostatitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Acute prostatitis is a sudden inflammation of the prostate, almost always of infectious origin, which causes urinary discomfort and general malaise in men.
Common symptoms:
- Burning or difficulty when urinating and greater urgency
- Pain in the lower abdomen, the pelvis or the perineum
- Fever, chills and malaise
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek prompt care when fever appears with urinary symptoms or significant difficulty urinating.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the right professional to evaluate and follow up on this condition, with an initial evaluation possible by the general practitioner. When a picture like this appears, the wise thing is not to delay the consultation with a specialist.
