Prostatodynia is typically a chronic, painful disease. The symptoms (including chills, fever, pain in the lower back and genital area, body aches, burning or painful urination, and the frequent and urgent need to urinate) characteristically go away and then come back without warning.
The urine and fluid from the prostate reveal no evidence of a known infecting organism or of cells that the body usually produces to fight infection.
