[QUOTE="Butchmo, post: 128538, member: 13017"] The symptoms you describe could also be due to prostatitis (swelling and inflammation of the prostate) which is actually much more common in younger than older men (unlike BPH, which is more common in older men). It can be caused by a bacterial infection but sometimes the cause is never clear. There are long discussion boards at various forums about men who have had to deal with this. I had acute bacterial prostatitis. It came on fairly suddenly and involved generalized aches, low grade fever, and sudden onset of urinary tract symptoms (like the ones you described), but you can have the infection without fever or the other symptoms (the second time I had it I didn't have a fever or the aches and chills I had the first time). If due to an underlying bacterial infection, it requires extended treatment with antibiotics such as Bactrim. In my first experience with it, the urinary symptoms improved within 4 days but I had to stay on Bactrim for six weeks. The reason is that the prostate has tissues which are difficult for antibiotics to penetrate. It can become recurrent and even chronic, so a good diagnosis is needed. Sometimes antibiotics are given "empirically" which simply means "let's try it and see if they work". One good resource is an article at the American Association of Family Physicians - google "prostatitis American Association Family Physicians" and it should come up. Hope you find answers! [/QUOTE]
