Overview
A detailed and thorough history from the patient is necessary. Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient include previous history of sexually transmitted diseases, any new sexual partners, urogenital disorders, and recent catheterization or other genitourinary instrumentation.[1][2] Common symptoms of acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis include urinary frequency, urinary urgency, burning during urination, nocturia, urinary retention and pain in the genital area, groin, lower abdomen, or lower back. Symptoms of acute prostatitis also include fever, nausea, and vomiting.[3]
