Groin pain, chills, naseau
Hello everyone,
I went to the Hospital due to pain that I am in. It started about a week ago when I started having really bad lower back pain and it felt like I had a stomach virus.
About two days ago I started getting very bad pain underneath my belly button (between my belly button and penis) with a constant urge to urinate - I woke up about 4 times last night to urinate.
The Doctor said my blood pressure and heart rate was elevated meaning I may be fighting some infection. Urine sample and CT scan came back fine but they said my white blood cell count was high from the blood work.
Their diagnosis was prostatits but couldn't say for sure.
Any ideas? I am in pain.

They took no cultures of my prostate secretions. Only blood cultures, blood work, and a urine sample.
The urge to urinate has got much better but my lower back is still very painful, is this anything I should worry about?

Hi,
In treating prostatitis it is best to have a culture of the prostate secretions done to guide treatment.
Was this done in your case?
Just continue to complete the course of antibiotic therapy.Prostatitis may not readily resolve.In some cases they may persist and become chronic. However, having had this treated promptly may be able to help prevent the infection from persisting and recurring.
At this point just continue wih your medications and complete them. A repeat urinalysis and prostate secretion culture may be done at the end of antimicrobial treatment.

Thank you for your response.
It felt as thought I had a fever, I felt very cold when I went to the hospital but my temp was fine.
The lower back pain wasn't very abrupt, it got increasingly worse over the course of about a week. I usually do experience this type of back pain when I catch a virus - like the flu but this time it didn't go away. As far as the groin pain, I have never experienced this before.
I was given a shot of Rocephen (spelling?) and Doxycycline which actually seems to be helping a lot...I am feeling much better.
Does anyone know if I keep getting this prostatitis, will ordinary antibiotics not work anymore? Will I developer antibiotic resistant bacteria?

Hi,
With regards to your symptoms, several differentials may be possible. It is obvious that the urinary tract is involved.Your elevated blood pressure and heart rate may be due to the pain, unless you have fever . Did you experience fever? The elevated WBC count is probably caused by an underlying infection.
With regards to this lower back pain, was this abrupt in onset?
Or have you previously experienced similar symptoms?
Differentials for your case will be urinary tract stones, cystitis, and prostatitis.Prostatitis may also be associated with pain in ejaculation and decrease in urine flow. Straining in urination may also be noted. Cystitis may cause a burning sensation usually pronounced at the end of urination. Kidney stones may be asymptomatic but passing of stones may cause severe flank and abdominal pain.
A primary differential of prostatitis may require initiation of certain medications at this point. You may ask your physician to prescribe you with pain medications.
