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.[1][2] 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.[4]
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]
