FAQ
Short answers to common questions.
These answers are deliberately cautious. A symptom list cannot confirm a diagnosis.
No. NIDDK describes multiple types, and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is not simply the same condition as acute bacterial prostatitis.
No. Urinary symptoms can overlap with urinary tract infections, bladder conditions, benign prostatic hyperplasia and other problems.
Seek prompt medical attention if you cannot urinate at all, have painful/frequent/urgent urination with fever and chills, see blood in urine, or have severe lower abdominal or urinary pain.
No. Antibiotic choice and need depend on clinical assessment. Self-treating from a website can be unsafe.
Stress may affect symptom attention and may be associated with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome in some people, but it does not prove the cause.
No universal diet diagnoses or cures prostatitis. Some people may notice bladder irritation with caffeine, alcohol, acidic or spicy foods, and a clinician may suggest adjustments depending on the situation.
