Well, don't start worrying too much about this yet. I know how hard - trust me, I get it - but take one step at a time.

I'm going to let others answer most of this, but a lot of doctors will discount prostatitis as a possibility in younger men, thinking its impossible for them to have it. However, we've seen a lot of men around your age here with it.
