you may have no symptoms of prostatitis or symptoms so sudden and severe that you seek emergency medical care. when present symptoms include: frequent urge to urinate difficulty urinating pain or burning during urination chills and fever. other symptoms may include pain that comes and goes low in the abdomen around the anus in the groin or in the back. in some cases bacteria can get into the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra) causing groin pain or an infection of the epididymis (area near the testicles where sperm mature and are stored). the prostate may swell causing a less forceful urine stream. sometimes blood in the urine and painful ejaculation are other symptoms of prostatitis. men may also complain of pelvic pain pain during ejaculation and pain with sexual intercourse.
