Overview
Patients with chronic prostatitis are usually well-appearing. Patients with acute prostatitis may appear ill and have systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and nausea.
Physical Examination
Physical examination of patients with acute prostatitis may be remarkable for fever and chills. Patients with chronic prostatitis are usually well-appearing.[1][2]
Appearance of the Patient
Appearance may vary in acute and chronic prostatitis patients[1][2]
- Patients with chronic prostatitis are usually well-appearing.
- Patients with acute prostatitis may appear ill and have systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and nausea.
Vital Signs
- Elevated temperature may be present
Musculoskeletal
- Lower back tenderness may be present[2]
Genitourinary
- In acute prostatitis, palpation of the prostate reveals a tender and enlarged prostate[1][3]
- In chronic prostatitis, palpation of the prostate reveals a tender and soft (boggy) prostate gland[1]
- A prostate massage should never be done in a patient with suspected acute prostatitis, since it may induce sepsis
- Digital rectal exam (DRE) is done in cases other than acute bacterial prostatitis to localize the pathology and palpate it.
- A digital rectal exam is a procedure performed in the office setting. The patient bends on a table or lays on one side with knees touching chest. The physician wears gloves, applies a lubricant to the gloved finger and enters it into the rectum to feel the prostate normally located in front of the rectum.
Cardiovascular
- Tachycardia (infection)
