Cause #5: Prostatitis
Prostatitis refers to inflammation that occurs in the prostate gland. Classified into the causes and onset of the condition, it can be divided into acute prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, inflammatory prostatitis (chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP / CPPS)), noninflammatory CP / CPPS, and asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis.
Prostatitis can result in fever, chills, lower back pain, pain in the perineum, dysuria, increased urinary frequency, myalgia, hydronephrosis, and more. Treatment may involve antibiotics, analgesics, bed rest, hydration, and stool softener. The urinary retention should be managed using intermittent or suprapubic catheterization.
